Centuries after the first Era of Darkness, the
Demonixa reemerge from the ashes of the chard throne of Morgmodeus,
their fallen King. Seeking to restore his father’s grip
of tyranny on the Bytiluna star system, Carnmassicre the second
son of Morgmodeus, develops a replica of the doomsday weapon that
ended his father’s reign; the Eclipse. Now with the Eclipse
at his grasp, the light which was restored to the universe is
once again threatened.
As a safeguard against the impending peril,
the Manduurin, ancestors to the Chlordon the perished creators
of the Eclipse-form an alliance with the Human race and assemble
a defense force made up of soldiers and scientists known simply
as the Corps. Twenty-two years later, the first Human/Manduurin
Eclipse prototype is developed.
Knowing that another Eclipse has been created,
Carnmassicre sends his most loyal minion, Minda-Proserpine into
the past to kill the four physicists responsible for the prototype.
After getting wind of Carnmassicre’s plan, the Corps enlists
the aid of Maxwell Leer, a retired Major with a troubled past
to stop Minda and repair time if needed.
While Max is on his mission he meets a beautiful
astronomer named Sara Manning, daughter of Dr. Seth Manning, one
of the physicists who co-created the Human/Manduurin Eclipse.
In Sara’s eyes Max sees a strength and compassion that reminds
him of his departed love. Together they save the four physicists
before Minda can change the future. But when Max returns to his
present, he comes to find that the mission was not the success
that he assumed; that more lives were lost than saved; that over
half of the fleet of the Corps has been wiped out. He learns that
Carnmassicre, in light of Minda’s failure, has begun an
all out war against those who resist the new era. Feeling the
burden of duty, Max reenlists in the Corps, and joins the cause
to restore the peace that once was.
Will Max be able to overcome the demons of the
past and the present?
Will Carnmassicre reign?
Will there be a future or not?
