The Aurigan Solution combines the fast pace of hard-core science fiction with the complexity of political intrigue, and its focus is the historical framework of the future in which it is set.  The story chronicles a specific set of incidents that leads directly to the downfall of Humanity’s first star-spanning government - the so-called Luna Republic.
When the alien war had finally ended, a great sense of relief and optimism characterized the mood of the Human Stellar Network.  But this optimism soon gave way to disillusionment when the great oligarchs who sat in control of the Luna government did nothing to alleviate the senseless quotas and trade restrictions and, of course, burdensome taxes.  Agitation soon began.  It needed only a situation of suitable volatility to set in motion the changes that must take place.
There are moments in time around which history often swings; this story is about a few of them.

The Aurigan Solution

When the clerk at the Space Administration saw his flight plan, he immediately assumed his official ass mode, this until he punched in Bolton's license number.  His eyes go very big, and he called his manager.  Red tape was swiftly cut through and within fifteen minutes the necessary authorizations were handed over.  The last person he expected to see on his way out was Questor Dis


"Admiral?  Admiral Bolton, is that you?"


Deeply immersed in his own thoughts he didn't recognize him for a moment.  "Yes, who -- Dis?  My god man, is that you?"


"How are you, sir?  I didn't know you were on Luna."


"How the hell are you?"  They shook hands.  "Yes, I've been here all along.  Taught at University for a time.  What have you been doing?  I thought you emigrated."


"What, leave Sol and lose my vote?  Never," said Dis, slyly working to his point; he who rarely missed an opportunity or wasted a word.


"So, what have you been doing with yourself?" asked Bolton.
