SPACE RELIC HUNTERS HC (MR)

An exciting new space opera of blockbuster proportions from the creators of Warship Jolly Roger and On Mars! Two hundred years ago, an interplanetary religious war devastated the galaxy. Four gods, known as the Great Quartet, then established a new empire: a violent, repressive dictatorship that wiped out every religion – except the worship of their own deity.

To enforce this order, the Divine Legions were created. Despite ubiquitous surveillance, various alien species secretly clung to the worship of their old gods. This gave rise to a galactic black market for alien relics tied to many forbidden religions. Smuggling flourishes – and with it, the birth of the Relic Hunters.

Up-and-coming hunters Xia (human) and Little Mercur (a masked alien of unknown origin) are among the galaxy's best. For their new mission they're joined by Vitellius, a deserter ex-centurion of the Divine Legions. Together, they embark on a risky assignment that drops them right into the crossfire of cults, power politics, and interstellar intrigue.
