Superluminary, or The Last Days of the Lords of Creation is a free Web Serial Novel by John C. Wright. It is essentially a Space Opera reminiscent of such works as Lensman, but with each and every element taken up to eleven.The story takes place in the far future. A devastated, wartorn Earth is arrived upon by Evripades Zenon Telthexorthopolis, the sole survivor of an expedition once sent to Pluto to investigate alien signals. On Pluto the expedition had found the Infinithedron, the repository of knowledge of an immensely advanced civilization. With the alien super-sciences at his disposal, Evripades promptly restores Earth to its glory, takes over the world and assumes the title of Emperor of Man, Lord Tellus.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Each of Tellus's children, the Lords of Creation, is given the secret of a single super-science, save for one: that of a faster-than-light drive. The Lords of Creation subsequently rebel and overthrow the Emperor once he goes mad. With Lord Tellus gone and likely dead, the Lords of Creation rule over the Solar System, being as gods to the ordinary human folk, all while plotting against each other. But Aeneas Tell, the son of Lady Venus and youngest of Tellus's dynasty, wishes to end the tyranny of the Lords of Creation by giving the super-science to the common man.Then he gets assassinated for his trouble. And that's when his problems truly begin.Soon, Aeneas finds out the terrifying truth of why Lord Tellus never let mankind leave the Solar System—and before he knows it, the fate of the entire mankind is at stake, threatened by an enemy of unimaginable might.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Apocalypse How

comment
Apocalypse How: Several levels: A planetary-scale apocalypse happens to Saturn and its moons. A galactic-scale apocalypse happened long ago—except for the Solar System, all living beings in the galaxy have been consumed or made undead eons ago. Numerous smaller-scale apocalypses happen to the human worlds throughout the latter half of the novel.

And I Must Scream

comment
And I Must Scream: Aeneas's potential fate if he had ended up falling into the black hole-like warp-core. With gravity stretching his body, the "death-energy" field turning him undead and time stretching into infinity, he would end up both immortal and in horrific pain for all eternity.

Alien Geometries: The Infinithedron is a solid which keeps fractally growing more faces wherever it is looked upon.

Artistic License – Space: The objects referred to as "neutron stars" are clearly no such thing. They are the size of gas giant planets and are said to mass more than all of Sol's planets put together but less than Sol itself. This description sounds much more like a brown dwarf, or perhaps a white dwarf, than a neutron star.
