A series of intertwined stories told in a far-future hard science-fiction setting, in which the Federation attempts to extend its control over the planet of New Haven.
Important Characters:
• Beta One: Beta is one of the combat replicants that is deployed to New Haven by General Bradford's forces in the opening days of the Federal assault.
• Secretary Eynsford: Secretary Eynsford is the de facto leader of the United Nations of Jefferson, and the founder of the Aspera Federation.
• Tarion: Tarion is a gunslinger on New Haven living about 80 years after the Federal invasion.
Parts:
• Arrival: Arrival gives some background for the rise of the Federal forces, and the war on New Haven.
• Birth: This story follows one of the replicant soldiers deployed to New Haven during the Colonial War, who encounters some difficulties on her way to the objective.
• Grace: Set after the war. Grace follows Tarion, a wandering gunslinger who makes his living selling salvage and protecting the descendants of the rebels and hunting down bounties.
• Fugitive: Tarion hunts down a man accused of being a Federal agent.
• Liberation: Set in Irkalla during a rebellion, Liberation follows an android named Martin as he attempts to save one life in the darkness of the collapsing arcology.
• Neurachem: Military focus, following Federals in Irkalla during a rebellion.
• Void: A step back from the more action-packed stories that focuses on the more general characterization of classic science fiction and is more of an exercise in telling about a character and their motives than keeping up action, though it'll appeal to those who like the more traditional stories.
