The Republic is
building a mobile battle station, but one critical element is missing. The super weapon. One man’s research will change the fate of
the entire galaxy.
Chance and Brack awoke to a spectacular
sight, a sight rare even for the California desert. The sun was only just
peeking over the hills to the east. Rays tapering outward from the sun shone
through a veritable ocean of greatly billowed clouds in a near perfect fan,
with nearly every cloud outlined in silver. The sky was ablaze with the most
vivid lavenders, reds, oranges and golds, looking like a freshly painted
Delacroix. Neither man said a word for several minutes; both were transfixed.
Chance finally spoke.
