The Order of Prometheus
 |
In a backwater cluster of worlds deep within the Solomani Confederation¸ a covert society has stolen a cosmic secret. Using lost¸ perhaps forbidden¸ knowledge the Order of Prometheus will lead humanity into a new age with their custom-made creatures. Loyal warriors¸ indefatigable workers and resilient beasts of burden¸ their Golems are the answer to every manpower and labour-relations issue a user could ever imagine.
Investigating a remote installation¸ the Travellers stumble on evidence that someone is tampering with nature a little too much. A laboratory accident has cost the lives of the researchers¸ but where are the others of their team? The investigation takes the Travellers from the harsh world of Wasat¸ with its unusual starport¸ to logging camps and country estates. They will experience adventures aboard an atomic train and an awkward lunch with the notorious agents of SolSec.
Finally¸ the Travellers uncover the sinister motives of the Order of Prometheus¸ and face difficult choices in a city overrun by mindless killing machines. The wrong decision will permit an atrocity whose backlash might be felt right across Charted Space.
