Publisher's Synopsis
In a rare blend of historically familiar situations, futuristic technology and religious conflict, Armen Chakmakjian has created the first book in his Urtaru Chronicles trilogy. Naerius is a rocky, seemingly unimportant planet. However, it has always been at the center of large power politics in this quadrant of the galaxy. Naerius's location at the contact point of 3 galactic empires - Darjiki, Raslavon, and Barsifi - lent the planet to superpower machinations. Pascal Adam Scintilla is a Naerian refugee on the dusty planet of Barabrum. Pascal's desire to return to his home world of Naerius is the driving force which guides his choices. A prophecy pits 2 religions, 3 empires and 3 generations of the Urtaru family in a set of events that might lead to galactic peace. Was Pascal the first of three as described in the prophecy of Dol? What is the gemstone?
