#0.5 – A Waxing Arbolean Moon
The demon Dione existed before the dawn of time. Surely she was created alongside the very Divine Machine she came to loathe so much. From Dione’s seduction by Asmodeus and imprisonment at the hands of King Solomon to her release by an unwitting archaeologist, the timeline is punctuated with the baal’s influence and its counters by the time-traveling Ezekiel who repels the Arbolean invasion during the infancy of the Akkadian Empire with the weapons of an ancient Greek tinkerer.
Spanning the dawn of creation and the planting of the Circle of Seven to the day Dekker Knight meets Vesuvius Briggs, A Waxing Arbolean Moon fills in all gaps in the fractured timeline of Dekker’s Dozen: The Last Watchmen and functions as either Prologue or Epilogue depending on how you choose to look at it.
Before the chaos of steampunk time-travel, cyborg ninjas, plant-spore-controlled unicorn zombies, ghost warships, and Hassidic superweapons of The Last Watchmen, A Waxing Arbolean Moon pulls back the curtain on the galactic and celestial backstories.
#1 – The Last Watchmen
Space mercenary Dekker Knight and his team must do the unthinkable to prevent the Sun’s annihilation before his archenemy can bring what a time-traveler calls "the divine engines of reality" to a grinding halt–destroying all that is, will be, and ever was!
Following the Intergalactic Singularity War, Dekker Knight, mercenary and collector of arcane artifacts, works for the highest bidder—but he doesn’t take just any job. One in particular, transporting Austicon, the assassin who stalked his family for generations to a max-lock detention, was supposed to close a dark chapter of Dekker’s life.
After the constables botched Austicon’s incarceration, Dekker’s team is forced to hunt down the galaxies’ most heinous criminal all over again when a mysterious man claiming to be an ancient, time-traveling prophet intrudes on them. Ezekiel claims Dekker will soon annihilate all reality—and he knows all of Dekker’s secrets: that he wields an ancient, celestial weapon, was once married to a terrorist, and is the last member of the Watchmen—an ancient secret society with roots tracing back to Solomon.
Following Austicon’s theft of a superweapon, Dekker and his team must do the unthinkable to prevent the Earth’s annihilation. Worse yet, a demon-possessed tree is attempting to bring "the divine engines of reality" to a grinding halt—destroying all of existence with the death of the planet—annihilating all that is, will be, and ever was!
#2 – Weeds of Eden
When Dekker Knight and his mercenary crew are hired to ferry an alien diplomat to one of Jupiter’s moons they think they’ve taken a cake-walk mission. They even allow an old friend to tag along. While things appear odd on Io, things are far worse than they realize: terrorist activities threaten to fracture the tectonic plates and destroy everything on the surface–and the Dozen are stuck without access to their ship!
Even what passes for the local law seems caught up in the chaos, responding to a slew of false flags… almost as if something far more sinister has engineered some kind of galactic distraction.
#3 – Spawn of Ganymede
When Dekker and his fellow mercenaries discover that their simple delivery of medical supplies was stolen by a gang of ruthless thugs, they attempt to reclaim the items. Without the drugs, many will fall to a plague ravaging the expansion world. But more than sickness is eliminating the population and the unexpected threat proves far more sinister than any could expect on such a backwater planet as Galilee. Can the Dozen survive the Creeping Black?
#4 – The Seed Child of Sippar Sulcus
After the debacle on Galilee, the Division of Confidential Secrets investigates the Dozen and their involvement in the Syndicate—spearheaded by a zealous new director with psychic abilities. As Austicon’s sentencing commences, his nefarious criminal contacts threaten action leaving none better suited to prevent terrorist activities than Dekker and his crew. With the Eden Seed still in the hands of the enemy, will any of them discover the real threat before it is too late?
