Artifice: Book Two of the Prison Ship Sheol Saga
Nicholas Gaumer
The Bedlam Galaxy lies at the heart of the
Laniakea Supercluster and is a focal point for all of the wormhole
transits spanning that great expanse. Among the many races drawn to and
inhabiting its 10,000+ stars, humanity is one of the most recent and
longest anticipated additions. Once nearly driven to the brink of
extinction by violent and irreconcilable gender divides within the
dominant cultures of their homeworld, new technologies emerged to save
the species from their own folly and helped propel them into a new age
of interstellar exploration. Inevitably, that drive into the stars led
to the discovery of their own wormhole transit at the edge of the solar
system, and from there they ran straight into the waiting arms of
Bedlam's great multi-species intergalactic trade and defense alliance,
known colloquially as the Alliant.
Having been coerced to board
the all female maximum-security galactic prison ship known as the Sheol
in order to perform one vital repair, Vahkis Greye has so far managed to
survive dozens of potentially lethal incidents. He has faced constant
attempts on his life by marauding aliens, homicidal inmates,
out-of-control robots, and even his own government. And if that wasn't
enough, the ship itself is coming down around him. Singularity core
failures, multiple hull breaches, an overloaded computer core, a
mysteriously absent ship's AI, and rapidly dwindling supplies are just a
few of the legion of threats that could have potentially snuffed out
all life onboard the ship.
So clearly, it's been a rough couple of days.
But
Greye is also no longer alone. Phyra Astarte, the lone surviving shock
trooper of the ashtor fleet that attacked the Sheol now stands at his
side, lending him her considerable strength as well as her optimism for
the future. The mad Alexandra twins work day and night in their medical
lab to ostensibly aid him in his efforts, though they clearly have
machinations of their own in the works. Reverie
