Entropy The Nyytian Trilogy (Book One)

Three great cities remain on the planet Tohmes, the last fading beacons of a once powerful human civilization. In days long past, great machines and powerful sources turned the wheels and lit the fires of society within those enormous domed edifices, but with few exceptions those ancient juggernauts have fallen silent. Now, shrouded beyond the obscuring cloak of time, the cataclysm that sundered mankind from its accumulated storehouses of knowledge and forced its children back to the age of fire and stone has endured as little more than a colloquial reference to past promise, lost.Tohmes has circled the yellow star Song nearly three thousand times since that calamity, and with the hints found in the remnants of their forebear’s constructs and the help of a powerful genetic legacy encoded into their very cells, humanity has clawed its way back to the ages of iron and steel. For a brief, shining moment, it seemed as though they might even stand upon the cusp of a new Enlightenment.But shadows have spread in each of the great cities, and in the city of Nyyt, which sought more than any of the others to restore mankind to the grandeur of its ancestor’s legacy, the seats of power that once guided the freest of the free people have grown corrupt, and now seek to break them to the collar and the chain.As the city slides into a new dark age, few remain with the will to resist, and only a handful possess the means. But Nyyt was always free, and for those born under her dome, that taste is not so easily washed away.
