In Dusk of the Twin Suns, readers are thrust into the middle of the twenty-second century. It's a time when the now highly advanced Earth has established colonies throughout the nearest star system - Alpha Centauri. But just like back home, they don't all get along. The United States is in the midst of a bitter cold war with China, which has become more powerful and militaristic than ever.
For ordinary citizens, it's a challenging environment. Franz Beckhart is a burned-out Swiss robot operator who's spent his life drifting among the colonies, completing petty jobs. After hitting the bottle too hard one night, Franz finds himself responsible for a tragedy. Desperate to avoid punishment for his crime, Franz flees to the seemingly barren planet Neureus. There, Franz finds himself joining other rogues on a mission to examine a mysterious structure. But Franz soon finds that this exploration has put him in even graver danger.
