Forging a Second Sun

by Erik Reale

Overview

Building a bright future full of optimism for everyone in the universe may be an endless headache, but that won't stop Preo from scouring high-tech desolation for ways to fix everything that's broken. Neither will the endless swarms of robotic warships dominating the galaxy which constantly fire lasers and nuclear warheads at her stealth ship, the Charred Crow. When Preo's wanderings divert her to the barren, freezing world of Syth, she finds an opportunity to apply her discoveries: helping the local community fight economic exploitation and encroaching hypothermia by building them a solar-powered death beam.

Forging a Second Sun is inspired by numerous works of classic science fiction and rooted in retrofuturism, evoking the same feeling of awe and hope for the future despite how distant that grander future often feels.
