Plot
The novel follows the Novyra Operatives, the planet's intergalactic defense force, as they protect their homeworld, navigate conflict, and secure a peaceful future with the potential for reconciliation. The Arkiziens are a distinct species that evolved alongside the Novyrans on Novyra. Centuries ago, as the Novyrans advanced technologically, they launched a campaign to exile the Arkiziens to the distant and harsh planet Arkizer. The Operatives are led by the Leadership & Authority (L&A), an elite group that includes Fabio Zon, the current director, his brother Alex Zon, and the formidable soldier Joe Nedd. The central narrative revolves around the ongoing tension between the Novyrans and the Arkiziens, a species exiled to the distant planet Arkizer following a violent history.
The prologue introduces the vast and bustling cosmos, highlighting the eternal struggle between good and evil, light and darkness. Within the spiraling arms of the Vorandhria Galaxy, the Novyrans have thrived on their home planet, Novyra, and have expanded their reach to other planets within the Tamyny system. The advanced civilization of Novyrans faces challenges from the Arkiziens, who were exiled to the harsh planet of Arkizer. As both species achieve space travel, the potential for revenge looms, but so does the possibility for peace and cooperation. The Novyra Operatives are tasked with safeguarding their planet and navigating the complex dynamics of interstellar relations.

Themes
The Novyra Operatives explores themes of resilience, conflict, and the eternal hope for a better future. The novel examines the complexities of coevolution, the impacts of fear and misunderstanding, and the struggle between right and wrong. The story highlights the potential for both revenge and reconciliation as the Novyrans and Arkiziens navigate their shared and separate paths.
Development
The novel is inspired by the childhood adventures of Jonathan T. Freeman and Alex R. Jackson, evolving from imaginative play sessions into a structured narrative. The Novyra Operatives also draws from Freeman's earlier work, The L and A series, by JFEntertainment, further expanding on the universe and themes introduced in the original series.
The L and A was a no-budget YouTube TV series created by Jonathan T. Freeman and Alex R. Jackson. It ran for three seasons from 2016 to 2018, consisting of 17 episodes. The series follows the adventures of Luigi and Alex, who, along with their organization, The L&A Organization, developed a wormhole generator that allows them to travel through time and space. Inspired by various media, the series begins with their experiments with the wormhole generator, leading to thrilling adventures across different worlds and timelines. The narrative includes themes of friendship, bravery, and the consequences of tampering with time and space.
Over the years, the story of The L and A became more structured and less dependent on the copyright of other media, culminating in the YouTube series that documented their adventures. Despite its conclusion in 2018, the legacy of The L and A continues to influence Jonathan's creative endeavors, particularly in his work on The Novyra Operatives. This new novel aims to expand the universe and mature the themes and storyline introduced in the original series, creating a more engaging story for a young adult audience.
The first chronicle of The Novyra Operatives is planned to contain 50 installments, promising a rich and engaging storyline. For more information on this series, stay tuned to the Northudankton website's library page for any announcements.
