ANDROMEDA
HOTEL
SPACE
– Fifty thousand light years and eight
hundred years distant… while colonists from Terra have swarmed across the Milky
Way, they still have never found intelligent life… ever… save… themselves. Feeding their ever-growing
appetites for energy, for power, for answers. And yet, for all their advancements, they’re
the same creatures as crawled from Terran swamps
thousands of years earlier… to propagate, to dominate, to consume – to exploit
their science to create “hydes”, the human/animal
hybrids to serve the pureblood “pluds” and to further
divide themselves into the fortunate (whose existence is one of never-ending
ease and luxury) and those who labor to support them on distant, hostile
planets.
This is the story of the hydes of cargoship
Aegelweiss… Broonz and Turpin… marooned in Tao City on the planet Die of the
dual-star system Doobydoo through the collusion of
Regents and the corprocacies. Ordinary spacemen, jobless now, reduced to
life in the Baawl, that sprawling slum of Tao, their
dim nitespots of fighting and forgetting, their rooms
in the Hotel Andromeda among the others – Gargareeva,
the Concierge; Al, from Down The Hall; Quaia and her
daughter Marina and the energetic Rateyes… fending
off relentless bureaucracies and humiliations… their joyless labor, petty
crimes and shabby, stolen pleasures while rehabbing a derelict boneship which with they scheme to make their fortunes or
(at least) their escape.
The
more time passes and technologies change, the more human (even para-human) nature remains the same!
