Description
Financed by the wealthy, the migration from the old world promised equality for all who joined the venture but, after the arrival on New Earth, the wealthy quickly resumed their old roles and old ways. The natural resources of New Earth, and what they could be converted into quickly, became the global currency for all. The importance of these resources led to humans adopting a native trend - naming people by them. Both natives and newborn humans had names like Ruby, Steel, Sapphire, Mica, Clay, Olivine and Topaz. It would be decades before the communications technology and manufacturing base of Old Earth could be replicated, so parts and machines were taken to provide simple technology and transport: sailing boats, airships and steam engines. The new world would be a deliberate technological step backwards. Many humans were ignorant of the new world's sleeping threat. But a few had formed a secret alliance with the natives to deal with it - a solution had been seeded in the population. Some of the humans born in the new world would form part of an army. No one imagined that the arrival of humans would disturb the sleeping monster sooner than expected. All the natives knew what the first sign would be - black bullets left on the beach at low tide. The sign comes and unfortunately, the army is too young to fight - Silver is rising. He has sensed something new, alluring, and irresistible in humans. Have humans travelled the galaxy only to be consumed by a monster?
