In the near future, a group of scientists and military operatives are sent on an interplanetary mission to develop Earth's first off-world colony. While the crew of the GOLGOTHA hibernates for travel, technology on Earth continues to advance, and when they land on the planet, the crew finds it already inhabited...by another team from Earth that arrived years before they have. Now the crew of the GOLGOTHA find themselves relics of their own time, unwanted by the colony that's been expecting them for a genera-tion...and this planet holds its own secrets, secrets that could change the nature of mankind itself.

Hundreds of years after a cataclysmic event scorched the surface, Earth and its inhabitants have been forever altered and a new landscape and political struggle has taken hold between two distinct factions fighting for control. Aphrodite IX is both anachronism and advanced technology in a world that she no longer recognizes.

Dr David Loren is many things: child prodigy, inventor, genius, slacker ...mass murderer. When a military think tank's smartest scientist decides he can no longer stomach creating weapons of destruction, will he be able to think his way out of his dilemma or find himself subject to the machinations of smaller men?

An unknown enemy savages the technological infrastructure of the US Panic and conspiracy theories spread as David Loren and his misfit science team continue work on the TALOS project trying to make "Iron Man" suits a reality in California.
