The Veteran

Stan is the senior talent and dependable to a fault, though his left arm, with a mind of its own, doesn't always cooperate when he needs it most.

The Daughter

The Pal

Barda Stein might not have made the cut for Sally's crew, but she has invaluable data about the Narchitect's looming infection of Earth.

The Patron

Hugo Zurn, richest xec on four planets, solved Earth's food crisis with plastic bees. He may destroy it by entering a joint venture with Narchitect.

The Boyfriend

Tom Dial leads the Luna mission and wants Sally as his girlfriend -that is, until his old one wises up and quits Team Jesus.

The Boss

Lieutenant Greg Carstairs likes to have a good time, and the success of the Luna mission is his ticket to Nautilus settlement on Io, where they really know how to party.

The Priest

Rob Barclay's father kicked him out of Edinburgh parish for his own good; if starting a mission on Luna doesn't keep him out of jail, nothing will.

The Liaison

The Hero


Sally Parker is a military pilot whose mission is to fly her top secret mission to Luna and back. When they are nearly killed by an encounter with Narchitect, she will stop at nothing to prevent it from spreading to Earth.

The Villain


In its visible aspect, Narchitect appears as a chrome minotaur. A cosmic infection, the sole purpose of this demon is to replace free will with undying devotion to itself.

Story Profile

NARCHITECT BY JAMES MACADAM


A secret team of military talents goes to Luna on a seemingly routine survey mission, but what they encounter under the moon’s surface nearly destroys them. Friends and family against them, the survivors embark on a journey that takes them from the depths of a woman’s memory into game arenas encompassing every battlefield humanity has known, from the Earth homeland to distant settlements on Jupiter and Saturn.


Yumiko Rumi comes from the stars. Member of a cosmic cult, unless her deadly secret is discovered our world is doomed.


Rob Barclay spends more time in prisons than out, problematic for a priest who preaches everyone’s salvation but his own.


Sally Parker is at odds with a world that has no place for her. Upon her shoulders rests the hope of stopping an alien infection of Earth.


Together they will confront NARCHITECT, a game unlike any seen before where the stakes are life as we know it.
