In a distant future on the third moon of planet Torgasso, lies a desert wilderness plagued by hostile sandstorms and humongous carnivorous plants. Two rival although codependent races occupy the land - the Dervanite race aka “The Rangers,” who are bred to withstand the harsh environment and the greedy Aylvan race who inhabit the multi-level metropolis fortess of Herod. Dervanite Commander/detective Ely Stark receives an urgent distress message from Herod about a critical security breech within the tower that could prompt a full-scale rebellion from the lower-class inhabitants. Stark and his brute companions must thwart the mutant uprising while remaining cautious of an Aylvan back-stabbing trap. Skeezy neon dive bars, disrupter rifles, alien pawnshops with secret back rooms and more are featured in this fun, inspired ’80s off-world cyberpunk tale. -EH
