Book excerpt: Beneath the Cape of Orion—on planet Janaidar—in a parallel universe, a dying Imperial dragon awakens from deep-time compelled to kill a dreaded NuliZhu slavemaster hiding in the Upper Hangar and Staging Area of The-Sleeping-City. Instead, he discovers a hapless human fully transformed into a cyborg by the artificial-sapience known as the WuShi. The stolen man’s name is Elijah. A gigantic flying-saucer hovers high above the early industrial riverfront of Bahndahn Towne. Jackal-headed aliens drop grenades of billowing green paralysis gas. All the people fall—many die outright. After over 5,000-years, the NuliZhu transgalactic slavers from the Empire of Ra are back! Ensconced in the base of a city-sized dodecahedron, The-Creeping-Darkness aspect of the WuShi suddenly finds itself tangled in trillions of lines of ancient code blistering its hyper-processors—a kind of machine-madness. It fires a lucent beam of crackling light up through the core of the city to a precessing cuboid above the Central Obelisk to harden the faces of The-Sleeping-City into battle-mode. Power is short. It desperately needs its newly created power-master, for a lack of power is the only thing stopping it from enslaving the entire multiverse. It must also overcome the Guardian Dragons of Janaidar—whom it fears above all else—for only they can destroy it. In the town of Riverbend, false high priestess and usurper Yenara explores her evil powers in The-Baneful-Chaos. She coldly watches as her left hand rips the ka of the hostler’s son free. His body quakes. Vaporous trails of life-elixir bear witness to the foul murder. Spasms of pleasure ripple through her belly as she imbibes the vital essence of the ill-fated lad.
