博客來The Journal of Allen Brock weaves a narrative through the twists of an older and much different Earth. Negative energy has imposed physical challenges through Rift Space. This phenomenon wreaks havoc on electrical equipment and on weaponry. Wars rage; heroes rise and fall, hence the weave of the tapestry.
The focus of Brock’s narrative is Junipero Heights, a contested ground in the Highland. Highland, tucked in the eastern part of the Northern continent, is a rugged area, not easily assailed. For decades it has prevailed against the Hexas, Junipero’s unrelenting enemy in the west who view themselves intellectually and culturally superior to the Native-born.
In the backdrop stands Brock, the reticent hero. He is no saint, yet never the villain. Rouges and connivers peopled his world. Even friendlies have their agendas. Yet, the overarching questions remain unanswered, Why has victory over the Hexas been deferred? Why is that so many of the Native-born kinfolk remain pressed? How was it that the Hexas gained supremacy over half of the land?
One day, while nursing a pint of ale in a remote casino in the Central Mosaic, Brock decides he’s had enough. His words and actions reverberate from one end of the Northern Continent to the other. The future is altered, but not in the way Brock had intended.
