Solar Vendetta — Synopsis
In the scorched frontier of Heliotrope Ridge, a solar‑powered boomtown shimmering under a blistering future sun, a stranger arrives: Butch Alpine, the infamous contract killer whose reputation travels faster than the dust storms at his back.
He’s hunting one man — Thomas Sigma — the engineer‑turned‑opportunist blamed for letting the water reserves of their previous compound evaporate into nothing. Thomas’s six henchmen tried bartering the last remaining water for gold, failed spectacularly, and scattered. Butch has been tracking them, collecting their gold piece by piece like grim trophies.
But Heliotrope Ridge holds a complication Butch didn’t expect:
Nephelia Chochoe — solar mechanic, desert mystic, and the only person who ever knew Butch before he became a ghost with a gun.
Nephelia is in love with Thomas Sigma.
And she knows exactly what Butch is capable of...
O.A.
