Introduction:

Threads of Damocles is set in a universe shattered when a scientific experiment went awry. What remains of the Universe is isolated elements of time...some contemporary some from the past, the pieces of a shattered fourth dimension.

Los Angleles broke in 1950, five years after the end of WWII. Twelve Million people trapped in Southern California without outside resources.

Forty five years have passed. A weak civil government maintains a semblance of law and order, but all real power is in the hands of the Corporations, who have connections with the mysterious "Technosphere" another broken fragment of reality nearby.

In the barrios, the poor and unverprivilged support a Communist/Nationalist underground that threatens the compromise that keeps a pretense of the U.S. and the State of California alive.

Slowly and at great expense contact has been established with the other severed fragments of reality. The Mafia controlled Empire of New York and the Dutch East Indies across the Pacific still mired in the aftermath of the Second World War.

For decades the "Great Compromise" of Governor Ronald Reagan has maintained order. But now the Governor is unable to run for re-election, and there is no clear successor. All knives are out as various factions vie for power against a backdrop of frantic partying.
