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

The deep throb began, the deep penetrating boom boom of piped-in compu-bop.  Halverson's temples beat to the beat.  He ground his teeth and awoke.  He threw aside the stained sheet and sat up on the filthy mattress.  Dingy light seeped in through the yellowed curtains.  Jenkins moaned in his sleep across the room, a fresh puddle of greenish vomit skimming over on the floor next to his bed.  Empty bottles littered the floor.


"Wake up!"  Halverson threw his pillow at Jenkins; it bounced off his face and fell down into the puke puddle on the floor.  "It's time to go!"  Jenkins growled awake and sat up on his bed, rubbing crust out of his eyes.  Jenkins was long past any kind of anxiety, resigned to accept whatever each day brought.  He was working as a bouncer in the bar, ostensibly, mostly just getting drunk and trying to fuck the girls or bashing a few heads when he got the chance.  He was unreliable, Halverson estimated, but didn't know what to do with him.
