Hidden Empire
Chapter One
Pulling out a section from HIDDEN EMPIRE is like taking a grain of sand from a
beach. With all the storylines, alien races, and colorful planets, it's difficult to pin down
one piece that is representative.
This chapter features a group of human "space gypsies" who call themselves Roamers.
They are fiercely independent and not particularly well liked by the rest of "civilized"
humanity, but they have found a very lucrative niche for themselves by taking over the
dirty industry of skymining - or extracting hydrogen from the clouds of gas giant planets
and converting it into stardrive fuel.
Ross Tamblyn is the oldest brother in his clan, and he has broken from the family water
business in order to finance and run a giant cloud-harvesting facility. Everything is at
stake for him in this risky venture, and he needs to prove himself to his father (who has
disowned him) and his fiancee, the beautiful Cesca Peroni.
