About the book

Inheritance. Transformation. The rise and fall of worlds.

The First Genesis is a dark science-fantasy epic of inheritance, transformation, and the rise and fall of worlds. After traveling the world and encountering hundreds of cultures, Nim now lives a quiet life in the mountains under the care of his aging uncle, Hass. But Hass has come to this remote place to die—and before he does, he must pass on not only power, but knowledge.

Nim does not fully understand his own past, nor the depth of the legacy waiting inside his uncle’s failing body. When Hass finally reveals the truth, Nim inherits far more than a family history. He is drawn into an ancient legacy stretching back to Sair Ra, the First Dragon, the arrival of world-altering microorganisms, the rise of giants and kings, and the destruction and rebirth of civilizations across the vast ages of Earth.

As old chronicles unfold and buried technologies awaken, Nim must decide whether he is worthy to carry forward a power that once shaped life itself. In a story where the future is measured in eons, can he save humanity as Hass and Sair Ra have done before, or is the world doomed to remain under the rule of the Giant King?

Blending mythic history, speculative science, and planetary-scale survival, The First Genesis is a sweeping story of creation, ruin, and renewal.

About the author

Bryon Chase

Bryon Chase, 55, lives in Miami with his wife. He rolled his first dice more than thirty years ago and has spent much of that time building campaigns and worlds to test his players’ ingenuity. Along the way came more than twenty years of MMORPGs and a six-year run as the operator of a Shadowrun MUD, where he learned that a persistent world only works if someone is willing to keep the lights on at three in the morning and the players entertained.

That lesson carried over into his day job. Bryon is a programmer and network engineer currently working on building AI clusters—the same instinct as the MUD, just scaled up: keep the system running, keep people connected, and keep the world alive. He writes the kind of fiction he has spent his life playing.
