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

A gate crossing blocked the road into the Merchanter Quarter, the black and white stripes of the gate arm attesting to the disaffections that divided the Aurigan cause.  'Nothing is as simple as black and white here, except the danger we're in,' Halverson let go the thought as quickly as it had come.  They had spent the night sleepless in an alley, not knowing the way to the Merchanter Quarter, not sure of pursuit.  At dawn they hit the streets, walking eggshells with every person they passed.  But the red scarves gave them anonymity, and the arms they carried kept eyes averted.  Even Jenkins quickly guessed the truth, though his thick mind could not have put words to it.  Fear ruled here, fear of talking, fear of looking into eyes, fear of red scarves.
