The following is an excerpt/description of the book, *The God Forge*, drawing on the source material:
"Truth, they say, wears many masks. The stories that endure over time—the legends that shape civilizations—often emerge as mere shadows of their original selves. This larger story, born from a fragmented reflection of a more intricate truth, begins on **Tiåmåt**: a world carved by fire and blood, locked in an elliptical circumbinary orbit around two stars, drifting through the ancient inner halo of the Milky Way — a remnant of a long-consumed dwarf galaxy, thousands of light-years away from what will one day be called Eretz (Earth)”.
On the scorched world of **Tiåmåt**, time is measured in collapses. The planet is moribund and circumbinary, with two suns, **Takbiru** (a red supergiant) and **Takmat** (a white dwarf), causing implacable volcanism, extreme seasons, and an imminent ecological collapse. The dominant civilizations—the technological **Åƙƙåd**, the ascetic **Ħåḳḅirû**, and the war-tempered **Åqmorite**—form an unstable coalition called the **Federation Council**. Their mandate is not peace; it is survival.
The setting is an unconventional blend, combining elements of **medieval settings** and **religious sensibilities** with the **industrial-age advancement** resembling Earth's late 1800s to early 1900s. To fight extinction, the Federation plans to build a colossal **orbital shield** system and has commissioned **The Seven**—genetically augmented minds designed from the generally despised **Ħek̊ţrēw** hybrid children. These younglings are conceived as experiments and the last hope of invention. The history explores whether intelligence, science, and will can defy a seemingly inevitable cosmic destiny.
The book is anchored by **philosophical science fiction** with mythic overtones and a hard science foundation.
