Two hundred years ago a vast energy Curtain opened in the vicinity of Earth, making interstellar travel practical for the first time. In typical human fashion, thousands of eager colonists packed up their stuff and lost no time heading out to create new homes and new societies on the unexplored worlds. Harmony was one of those worlds.
The colonists brought with them all the comforts of home--sophisticated technology, centuries of art and literature, and the latest fashions. Trade through the Curtain made it possible to stay in touch with families back on Earth and also to keep the computers and high-tech gadgets working.
Things went swell for a while . . . and then the Curtain closed, disappearing as mysteriously as it had opened.
Cut off from Earth, no longer able to obtain the tools and materials needed to keep their machines functioning, and with no hope of rescue, the stranded colonists were abruptly thrown back to a far more primitive existence. Just staying alive suddenly became a major problem.
But on Harmony, things are a little different. There is residual psychic energy left in weird alien ruins, and people get buzzed on that energy, and some will get rich selling it, and some will get dead . . .
