The Broken Home

Over ten thousand years in the future, mankind has spread to the stars... but the Earth Empire was left behind, and the birthplace of mankind was lost--first to tyrants, and then to the obscurity of history. However, when an explorer stumbles onto the once-great planet, not a single person has survived. The planet itself goes up for auction, and the buyer seeks to understand what happened, so long ago.

The Broken Home is a short story about the excavation of the greatest fortress the Earth Empire ever built.
