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

Halverson walked with Sky across the tarmac toward the looming freight shuttle from the Raintree.  The sun flashed brightly from heat shimmer in the distance.  They were out in the open, with no one in earshot; yet he didn't feel the least bit nervous.  Jenkins and the crazy spacer named Zeno were taking care of Vyo's berth.  They should be along very soon.  It looked like the shuttle was all loaded.


"So," said Sky, looking around, gauging whether listening devices might, even now, be trained on them.  "You want to debrief here?  While we have a chance."


Halverson was much more cautious.  "I don't believe that would be wise.  I don't have much trust for these spacers."
