Ebook Vulcan's Forge - Flame Tree Publishing

“The Forge of Vulcan is a fascinating journey into a captivating future, combining intriguing speculations on social development and human nature with a richly realised techno-noir future.” Brian Trent, author of Ten Thousand Thunders

Jason Kessler does not fit into the society of Nocturnia, the only colony that survived the destruction of Earth. Torn between the colony's twisted vision of mid-20th century America, its sexually repressive culture, and the expectation that his primary duty is marriage and children, Jason rebels, plunging into an illegal and dangerous affair with Pamela Guest, but Pamela harbours a secret. Soon, the lovers find themselves in a deadly game of cat and mouse with the head of the colony's underworld, and the secrets Jason uncovers turn everything he knew upside down, revealing dangers far beyond Nocturnia and its obsessions.
