Space Colony

Persecuted believers need to take drastic action, forced out of their churches, homes and lives. The Lunar Mining Colony faces financial ruin when miners sabotage to demand higher wages.

Desperate company executives offer these desperate believers a "City on A Hill" out of this world.

The Colony Ship Vanguard was one of seven colony ships launched from a damaged Earth in a desperate plan to carry human settlers to Earth equivalent worlds. The voyages would take generations, and the people on board, as well as the flora and fauna in huge biological habitats had to be stable. But something happened on the way. Now, over one hundred years later, Earth is all but dead. People survive only in Dome 17.

On the derelict colony ship, things are being discovered. What will that mean for the refugees from Dome 17? Will they be helpful in restoring the technology of the Eschaton? Will the Domers finally find a way to repair their high tech equipment? Or will these discoveries lead to more tension between those born on board and the newcomers? Tensions mount as a major crisis happens. Who will survive when old adversaries return to seek retribution? And who will not?

In 1969, Princeton physicist Gerard O'Neill began looking outward to space colonies as the new frontier for humanity's expansion. A decade later, Eric Drexler, an MIT-trained engineer, turned his attention to the molecular world as the place where society's future needs could be met using self-replicating nanoscale machines. These modern utopians predicted that their technologies could transform society as humans mastered the ability to create new worlds, undertook atomic-scale engineering, and, if truly successful, overcame their own biological limits.

Noren knows that his world is not as it should be--it is wrong that only the Scholars and their representatives the Technicians, can use metal tools and Machines.
