Plague casts a dire shadow across the continent. This terrible disease preserves its victims even after death. Every attempt to cure or neutralize the plague only spreads it further. Only the Inventors Guild has a plan to destroy the sickness - with science. It all begins with A Desperate Plan. They will graft mechanical enhancements onto the recently deceased and use their creations to cleanse the land of infected bodies. Desperate citizens do what they must to pick up the pieces of uprooted lives. A brave few search for solutions. Others see only opportunities to use this dread situation to their advantage. How long can the people of Eysan survive the horrors of the plague, the Automazombs, and one another?

A Desperate Plan is the first in a short story series, set in a steampunk world. This is the 2nd edition, updating the name of one of our authors and making additional small edits.
