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

 "ItÕs time," Bolton and JB nodded to each other as they prepared to disembark from the shuttle.  Both were extremely pissed.  It seemed the Commander of Dogstar thought he could refuse service to the 704, despite the priority codes that they had transmitted and transmitted again.  Talking to the man on Com had been fruitless.


"I got a higher priority due in here any day," he had said.  "A ship the size of that thingÕll drain our tanks dry."


"Well now, we canÕt have that, can we?" Bolton had asked sarcastically, which was lost on the man.


"Then you understand," the Commander had said.  "I mean, IÕm talking a scheduled priority here, a Survey runner.  This ... this is unprecedented, you showing up here with an old Battle Platform.  Your codes are OK, but they say youÕre on a training mission.  I donÕt know what the hell IÕm supposed to make of this.  If I donÕt have full tanks for the priority IÕve got coming in, itÕs my ass."
