Orion #1 (of 6)

In the year 52 A.D. (Astro Domino), the thriving Greater Galaxy People’s Empire has accumulated so much negative karma and energy that the Empire threatens to collapse. A scientist/sorcerer attempts to ensnare and destroy this negative karma, but a legendary priest, Master Fuzen, discovers that the plan is fatally flawed and could have disastrous effects. Thus begins a conflict of apocalyptic proportions, where battles rage on heaven and earth. In the eye of this mystic storm is Fuzen’s daughter, Seska, a powerful sorcerer and warrior whose involvement could tip the karmic scales to salvation… or Armageddon!
