The Sinful Stars: Tales of the Fading Suns

0/5 ( ratings)

It is the dawn of the sixth millennium and the stars are seen to fade...

Humans reached the stars long ago, building a Republic of high technology and universal emancipation--and then squandered it, fought over it, and finally lost it. A New Dark Age has descended on humanity, for the greatest of civilizations has fallen and even the stars die. Now, feudal lords rule the Known Worlds, vying for power with fanatic priests and scheming guilds.

The FADING SUNS universe is revealed in the tales of its people: nobles, priests, guildsmembers, aliens and peasants. Among the 18 stories collected here:

* espionage entangles a poet who must shatter a noble alliance with a dark entity

* a priest seeks absolution from his tortured sins in the storms of Pentateuch, the Planet of Mysteries

* a scientist studying nanotech resurrects an evil from the time of the Second Republic

* a Brother Battle monk dares to trespass on Vau lands, to reclaim a holy relic

* the mythic past haunts an Ukar searching for an ancient crown that warps time

* a morality play reveals how demons tempt mortal souls with the lure of high technology and riches from the stars
