Fallen Dragon

In the distant future, humanity has spread across the stars, but not all worlds are created equal. Lawrence Newton, a disillusioned sergeant of a corporate military platoon, finds himself perpetually indebted to his employer, the monolithic Zantiu-Braun corporation. To escape this indentured servitude, Lawrence embarks on a desperate, unsanctioned quest: the legendary Temple of the Fallen Dragon on the alien world of Thallspring. This mythical temple is rumored to house an unfathomable hoard of treasure, guarded by enigmatic priests, wealth enough to buy freedom and lifelong happiness. As Lawrence leads his band of scavengers through treacherous alien landscapes and corporate-controlled territories, he unravels not only the secrets of the Fallen Dragon but also the dark truths about human expansion, greed, and the hidden powers that truly govern the galaxy. This high-stakes space adventure blends military sci-fi with a treasure hunt, exploring themes of exploitation, freedom, and the true cost of salvation.
