Volume 1: Lonely Mountain (complete)Two hundred years ago, the Dragon took the asteroid mining station LM-25 for its lair. Ten years ago, the bored dragon found a child castaway floating in space. Raising the child, the Dragon became comfortable and quiet. It hardly ever rampaged now. Rumors spread that it had died. Dragons may live a a thousand years, but corporations live forever. The Dragon appeared complacent. But, the Thor & Co., LLC remembers. The Dragon took the corporation’s property, and now the corporation’s agents have a plan to take it back.Volume 2, Golden City (ongoing): After Lonely Mountain, the Dragon’s daughter resolves to find out what stranded her for a Dragon to find. She’ll need a team to fly her new vessel. She’ll need information. Both can be found at Golden City, a Universal Free Port where money and fuel flow in equal measure, and the corporations control it all. A local Broker seems ready to help. But, between the rival oligarchs, it is no longer enough to control some of the Golden City, when one of them could control it all. And others see opportunities for revolution to bring the entire corrupt system down.
