Circa the Year of Dome 2000, Anvil the Artificer, a then otherwise unnamed, highborn Lazaremist later called Tvasitar Smithmonger, dedicated the first three devic talismans, or power foci, that he forged out of molten Brainrock to the Trigregos Sisters.

The long lost, possibly even dead, simultaneous mothers of devakind hated their offspring for abandoning them on the far-off planetary Utopia of New Weir. Not surprisingly, their fearsome talismans could be used to kill Master Devas (devils).

For most of twenty-five hundred years, they belonged to the recurring deviant, Chrysaor Attis, time after time proven a devaslayer. On Thrygragon, Mithramas Day 4376 YD, he turned them over to his Great God of a half-father, Thrygragos Varuna Mithras, to use against his two brothers, Unmoving Byron and Little Star Lazareme, in hopes of usurping their adherents and claiming them as his own.

Hundreds of years later, these selfsame thrice-cursed Godly Glories helped turn the devil-worshippers of Sedon's Head against their seemingly immortal, if not necessarily undying gods. Now, five hundred years after the 1000 Days of Disbelief, they've been relocated.

The highest born, surviving devic goddesses want them for themselves; want to thereby become incarnations of the Trigregos Sisters on the Hidden Continent. An Outer Earthling, one who has literally fallen out of the sky after the launching of the Cosmic Express, gets to them first ...

Published in 2011; two storylines recounted side-by-side, the titular one narrated by the Legendarian in 5980, the other indirectly leading into the 'Launch 1980' story cycle; main web presence is here; Character Companion starts here; ordering lynx are here;

In the Year of the Dome 4825, Morgan Abyss, the Melusine Master of the Utopian Weirdom of Cabalarkon, seizes control of Primeval Lilith, the ageless, seemingly unkillable Demon Queen of the Night. The eldritch earthborn is the real half-mother of the invariably mortal Sed-sons but, once she has hold of her, aka Lethal Lily, Master Morgan proceeds to trap the Moloch Sedon Himself.

In the midst of the bitter, century-long expansion of the Lathakran Empire, the Hidden Headworld's three tribes of devil-gods are forced to unite in an effort to release their All-Father. Unfortunately for them, they're initially unaware Master Morg, the Death's Head Hellion herself, has also got hold of the Trigregos Talismans, devic power foci that can actually kill devils, and Sedon's thought-father Cabalarkon, the Undying Utopian she'll happily slay if they dare attack her Weirdom.

Utopians from Weir have never given up seeking to wipe devils off not just the face of the Inner Earth, but off the planet itself. Their techno and biomages, under the direction of the Weirdom of Cabalarkon's extremely long-lived High Illuminary, Quoits Tethys, have determined there is only one sure way to do that -- namely, to infect the devils' Inner Earth worshippers with fatal plagues brought in from the Outer Earth.

Come All-Death Day there are more Dead Things Walking than Living Beings Talking. Believe it or not, that's the good news.

Kadmon Heliopolis had one life. It ended in October 1968. The Male Entity has had many lives. In his fifth, he and his female counterpart, often known as Miracle Memory, engendered more so than created the Moloch Sedon. They believe him to be the Devil Incarnate. They've been attempting to kill him ever since. Too bad it's invariably he, Heliosophos (Helios called Sophos the Wise), who gets killed instead.

On the then still Whole Earth circa the Year 4000 BCE, one of their descendants, Xuthros Hor, the tenth patriarch of Golden Age Humanity, puts into action a thought-foolproof, albeit mass murderous, plan to succeed where the Dual Entities have always failed. He unleashes the Genesea. The Devil takes a bath.

Fifty-nine hundred and eighty years later, New Century Enterprises launches the Cosmic Express from Centauri Island. It never reaches Outer Space; not all of it anyhow. As a stunning consequence of its apparent destruction, ten extraordinary supranormals are reunited, bodies, souls and minds, after a quarter century in what they've come to consider Limbo. They name themselves the Damnation Brigade. And so it appears they are -- if perhaps not so much damned as doomed.

At least one person survives the launching of the Cosmic Express. He literally falls out of the sky -- on the Hidden Continent of Sedon's Head. An old lady saves him. Except this old lady lives in a golden pagoda, rides vultures and has a third eye. She also doesn't stay old long. He becomes her willing soldier, acquires the three Sacred Objects and goes on a rampage, against his own people, those that live.

Meanwhile, Centauri Island, the launch site of the Cosmic Express, comes under attack from Hell's Horsemen. Only it's not horses they ride. It's Atomic Firedrakes!

Jim McPherson's PHANTACEA Mythos

Potential Back Cover for 'The Moloch Manoeuvres'

| Front Cover Blurb | Background on Project | Back Cover Text |

Depending on your monitor the print on the potential back cover for 'Manoeuvres' should read fairly easily. However, the blurb on the front cover may not be so easy to read. It goes as follows:

"It is January 13, 1938. Count Molech has a busy night ahead of him. First he must preside over a battle to the death he set up between mortal incarnations of the Olympian and the Aesgardian Gods in the Roman Colosseum. After that he has to go out and make some babies. Then, if he feels like it, he can finally turn himself into a vampire."

Two potential front covers for 'The Moloch Manoeuvres'

The 'The Moloch Manoeuvres' was written by Jim McPherson in the mid-nineties and thoroughly revised in the Spring 2002. Although as yet it does not have a publisher Jim McPherson designed 3 potential front covers and a back cover that he uses when he shops the novel around.

There are notes on 'Manoeuvres' throughout 'pH-Webworld' . Most of the links are collected on its Overview Webpage, which also has an excellent exposition on Jim McPherson's PHANTACEA Mythos.

"Jim McPherson takes his inspiration from worldwide mythology. It is a risky route to go since many folks believe some of his inspirations are anything except mythic. It is a great relief to report that most of the characters in this pre-WWII mosaic piece, and there are a lot of them, do not take themselves so seriously."

from the Introduction

Count Molech may only be a stage magician but he’s sure he’s a Blood Beast Prime, someone who can turn himself into a vampire whenever he pleases. Since vampires are impotent, he has to pass on his genetic heritage to a son before he does so. And he has to turn himself before he can turn anyone else.

In order to have a son a Blood Beast Prime cannot just marry anyone. No, certain criteria must be met. For one, his bride must be aware she will die having his son. In return for his eventual “kiss”, he’s promised the perfect woman: a Summoning Child prepared to risk all so long as he turns her as she's giving birth to his son.

There is something about these 17 or nearly 17 year old Summoning Children. They could be incarnations of the Gods and Goddesses, the Demons and Monsters, of Antique Mythology. That's why the Alliance of Man has gathered in Rome, Italy on January 12, 1938: to determine the educational future of these remarkable teenagers.

Count Molech could care less about advanced education. Together with his loyal manservant, Djinn, he has come to Rome to collect his bride-to-be. Djinn's a devil so there isn’t much he can't do. Then again, there's no shortage of Summoning Children, newly awakened to their birthrights, prepared to do their damnedest to thwart the counterfeit Count’s deadly designs on one of their own.
