About the book

Gram is angry at work, and not just because of his bad back. The forge he works at sits atop the biggest Mythril Meteorite ever to fall on Thelre – or perhaps on all of Geos – and the riches it brings in are squandered by the grandson of the late owner. When Gram stumbles on an ancient Geomancer Fossil Tome, it shows him that another way of running the world is possible. Alloy Cooperative is an Anarcho-Syndicalist Fantasy novella, about a blacksmith unionizing his forge to overthrow their nepotist boss and turn it into a worker-owned cooperative. Geos is a world where it no longer rains, and powerful magic meteorites fall from the sky – bringing riches to the few, and destruction to the many. Wars are fought over well water, and get even more vicious when magic metals such as healing gold are on the line. The peninsular Republic of Thelre thinks itself above such conflicts, with its Republican Democracy and Open Courts system, yet all too often it is wealth that guides the decisions of the Prime Minister and the Judges. But one group of forge workers is going to show the destitute working classes of Geos the true power and value of their labour.
