ON the colony world of Greyermede, the populace had grown discontent with rule from an aloof and distant Terran overlord. So began the first stirrings that would explode into the most ancient of human dreams.
The populace rise up, setting the scene for an age-old battle transposed onto the interplanetary stage. At first, they want nothing more than Independence – but it isn’t long before the unrest broils into a battle to determine who will shape the future society of Greyermede and beyond.
Under the red banner of socialism, the people of this Brave New World dare to dream of something better…
And, of course, there are those who say it can never work.
On Earth, distance, decadent cradle of humanity, the politicians and their corporate allies are determined that it must never work: and so the forces are mustered. Greyermede will face the full and savage wrath of Earth – Uranium Fist.
For Sue Reid, journalist, it’s just another assignment, until she finds herself pulled into the middle of a world’s Dream – and watches as it is blasted into Nightmare.
