Prisoners of Power: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

The protagonist, Maxim Kammerer, is stranded on the [[After the End]] [[Crapsack World]] of Saraksh, where the atmosphere has such enormous optical refraction, that the ''horizon seems to bend upwards''. After an atomic war, the planet is divided into several surviving rump empires. And all of them seem to be competing over who can be the most evil. The empire where he lands practices [[Mind Control]] on the unwashed masses and [[Fantastic Racism]] against those who can withstand their Mind Control methods. At first Maxim seems a bit of a [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]], just trying to get back home and unable to comprehend the nature of what's happening around him, taking the propoganda at face value. He proceeds to uncover [[Powered by a Forsaken Child|the truth]] and tries to improve the situation. How well he succeeds is debatable.
