It was one thing to maintain order, quite another to inflict tyranny. When that line got blurred one brave soul rose up in protest and set off a chain of events that would eventually lead to a world war, alien robots, and non-dimensional souls. But, before all that could happen, he'd need some bourbon, some luck, and some mists to rule.

The prequel/sequel to the Award Winning series The Brittle Riders.
