Rebecca and the Time-Traveler
The Federation is reeling from the first insurgence of Arcadia, all hope seems lost, and the end may be closer than it seems. Only worlds that have distanced themselves from their technology have survived so far, and at the top of that list is Agathon, known by locals as "the last refuge of the human condition."
Take yourself away into the mind of Rebecca, an Agate librarian, and get your first taste of what the Orion Spur has to offer.
