Seconds in Starlight

Nikolaos Edward Blythe has been assigned his latest Protasti Blair to offer him protection as he and his fellow Baethos attempt to contain and treat the B.D pandemic that has ravaged their world and split society into factions. As Blythe's gruff manner pessimism and crass language clash with Blair's rookie enthusiasm the pair uncover a series of clues leading them to a sinister plot more unpleasant than the most putrid miasma. And no amount of good vapors will remove the stench from Blythe's beak mask or his memory. In this dialogue driven minimalistic plague punk novella John Burbon drops you into a dark world that melds noir sci-fi and steam punk elements that culminate in Starlight.
