The Story

Airship pilot Rogue Whip has crashed on his way to evacuate a group of researchers from the Harbinger Tundra. He and his surviving crew reach a town called Ghonda. What they find are empty ruins and big problems. Gigas Archons prowl the skies, hunting down anything in their territory, mysterious penguins are making people vanish without a trace, and the survivors suffer gruesome paranormal encounters.

However, those aren’t the only threats on the tundra. The researchers led by Empress Isla Amenaza are searching for a mythical and deadly secret! Her expedition is threatened once the Juman Military arrives to claim her prize, and Rogue finds himself caught in the crosshairs. He’s willing to work with his enemies if it means getting a ride home, but as friend and foe alike fall victim to the terrors of the tundra, escape seems impossible. Can Rogue rally the survivors and find a way out, or will the secrets above and below the ice kill them all?

a bad position. A Darker Adventure

Archon’s Wake delves deeper into the darker concepts introduced in Hydra’s Wake. Lord Albert Richtoff’s death sends the Yeraputs underground into chaos. The situation that presents at the macro level is well above Rogue’s stature, but it’s still heavily felt here.

A new cast of characters join Rogue Whip and Hunter Smith to take us into the Harbinger Tundra, a place that’s isolated from the rest of the world, difficult to reach, and even harder to leave. The wildlife has everything to do with the survival situation here, and even the best equipped, best armed, most capable bad guys have a very difficult time surviving out here.

The fact that everyone out on the tundra has an interest in killing Rogue for one reason or another, related to Richtoff’s death of course, puts him in a bad position. As far as he’s concerned, he’ll gladly bend over backwards to work with whoever is willing to make use of him and his immunity to some of the paranormal phenomena being unleashed by the tundra’s ecosystem in exchange for not killing him.

We will see a lot more gore than my previous works in Archon’s Wake.
