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

Slowly the great ship came to life.  Beacons were alight after decades of darkness.  Nuclear plasma was boiling somewhere.  Miles of corridors began filling with a soft rush of air after a long dark age of stale vacuum.  Four huge G cylinders two hundred meters in diameter began trundling around the great axis.  Missiles were tenderly being thawed in the nose, lasers covertly focused, defense stations lubed and diagnosed.  The robots were awakened.


The ship floated amid hundreds of other darkened hulks in this graveyard called Point Darkside at the far end of earthÕs orbit opposite the sun.  The Fleet and the big shipping concerns dumped their obsolete machines here because it was cheaper than demo at the Lagrange marinas.
