The Factory is the law - but Wild Alan is about to discover that law
does not mean justice.
The gargantuan Factory of Gleam is an ancient, hulking edifice of stone,
metal and glass ruled over by chaste alchemists and astronomer priests.
As millennia have passed, the population has decreased, and now only the
central district is fully inhabited and operational; the outskirts have
been left for the wilderness to reclaim. This decaying, lawless zone is
the Discard, and Wild Alan's home.
Clever, arrogant and perpetually angry, Wild Alan is both loved and
loathed by the Discard's misfits. He's convinced that the Gleam
authorities were behind the disaster that killed his parents and his
ambition is to prove it. But he's about to uncover more than he
bargained for.
