The Heplion Contingency

A break-in at the Karnati Corporation uncovers a mysterious artifact, whose secrets have the power to plunge all known planets into chaos... or save the galaxy from the most catastrophic war ever. Who will possess the key to the Heplion Contingency - and will they be capable of controlling the terrible consequences of its unleashing?

In the worlds of the Haliburn Galaxy, the powers of the mind have been mastered since ancient times, leading its civilized peoples to forego technological development in favor of psychic disciplines. As a result, its sprawling, trans-planetary civilizations are a mixture of medieval-era weaponry and tools with bustling metropolises, imposing skyscrapers, vast corporations and advanced psionic gadgetry. This innovative foray into the realm of psy-punk joins the wonder of fantasy fiction, the aesthetics of cyberpunk and space-opera thematics into an exciting new frontier in speculative fiction.
