The Bloodlet Sun - Table of Contents
Hello reader, and welcome to the online sci-fi serial, The Bloodlet Sun, which updates every THURSDAY. Below you will find the table of contents for the main storyline as well as for the supplementary material, or if you're looking for the most recent entry, click here. I recommend reading the supplementary material only after you've finished reading the corresponding chapter. Enjoy!
2,000 years after a planet-wide disaster now only known as the Great Fire, humans have unlocked the potential of an ancient substance known as the Drops of the Bloodlet Sun and have taken to the stars. Soon they discover that the Drops are an ubiquitous if somewhat rare substance that forms the core of all advanced technology and humans are a late arrival to a crowded affair. Most habitable worlds are already under control of other species and the vast Thorian Empire covers one third of all known territory. Propelled by its role in the Last Gasp War, the first war in recent memory that the Thorians have lost, Earth plays a prominent role in the formation of the Outer Rim Confederacy, the newest player in a political game that has for millennia centered around keeping the Thorians at bay. In its newest bid to not be the small fish in a big pond, the ORC dispatches the starship Forseti on a clandestine mission to a wormhole on the far side of the Thorian Empire in the hopes of unlocking the secret to faster interstellar travel. Meanwhile, various factions position themselves to benefit from the chink in the armor of the Thorians, while the Thorians seek to send a clear message that the sun had not begun to set on their Empire.
