By jazzdogTHE EXOCOGITATUS OF DUNGSTEN CREASE
Life has almost gone back to normal for Dungsten Crease, his Shaper abilities only needed for the occasional government operation. Then his wife and mother of his child, who is also a prominent archeologist, uncovers an ancient artifact capable of transforming and destroying matter. Dungsten learns this artifact is an Exocogitatus—a Shaper tool used to amplify his abilities.
And why, you ask, is this a problem? Dungsten’s neurological concierge unit, Sam puts it this way. “What do you think the Galactic Business Council would find more inviting–a high-maintenance, uncontrollable, irrational Shaper who won’t let himself be properly killed by the Assassins, or an Exocogitatus that requires no maintenance, and which will allow the Council to have your abilities?”
The race is on for Earth-bound governments and the Galactic Business Council to acquire the powerful and dangerous tool, and the Shaper who can control it. Dungsten must find and then conceal the Exocogitatus before the Council finds him. And what happens if they find him? Let’s just say there won’t be a third book.
