Jack Done and the Ether glove
Jack Done, a skilled yet unfulfilled corporate worker, leaves behind a monotonous life on Mars to join the Argos Station, a melting pot of interstellar cultures and technologies. Here, Jack discovers the joy of applying his versatile talents to real-world challenges, from repairing ventilation systems to mediating conflicts between alien species. However, his journey takes an unexpected turn when he inherits Aetherion, an advanced glove created by his grandfather, capable of manipulating Ether—a powerful, emotion-driven energy source.
As Jack navigates the complexities of life on Argos, he builds a dynamic team including Tsukiko, a disciplined former soldier; Kael, a pragmatic Rysal; and Va’ar, one of the enigmatic Alfars. Together, they uncover sinister plots by the powerful Orith Nexis corporation, whose unethical experiments threaten galactic stability.
From sabotaged mining colonies to cloning projects, Jack and his team confront the shadows of the past and the dangers of unchecked ambition. Along the way, Jack learns about his family's pivotal role in unlocking Ether’s secrets and the sacrifices they made to prevent its misuse. With the help of his allies, Jack not only thwarts Orith Nexis but also reignites connections between galaxies by restoring a dormant portal that bridges the Milky Way and Andromeda.
"Jack of All Trades" is a story of resilience, innovation, and unity in the face of intergalactic challenges. Jack’s journey showcases the power of collaboration and the strength of following one’s true path, leading to a brighter, interconnected future for all species.
