- atom.
- Near-indestructible
- and
- ineffably
- magnetic,
- Fe
- is
- a
- hero
- like
- no

- flaming,
- plummeting
- asteroid
- slams
- into
- the
- sands
- of
- ancient
- Mesopotamia,

- finds
- itself
- forged
- into
- a

- powerful
- princes

- peoples
- have
- not
- yet
- discovered
- the
- secret
- of
- iron
- working.Time,
- gravity,

- forces
- march
- ever
- onwards,

- unforgettable
- characters
- and

- deeply-human
- narratives
- behind,
- following
- the
- immortal
- and
- infinitesimal
- Fe
- to
- its
- next
- grand
- adventure.
- Thrilling
- scenes
- of
- the
- Second
- World
- War
- give
- way
- to
- the
- humorous,
- and
- often
- maddening,
- complexity
- of
- our
- own
- overconnected
- 21st-century
- world,
- only
- for
- Fe
- to
- leave
- Earth
- forever,
- welded
- into
- a
- spaceship,
- destined
- to
- settle
- other
- worlds…In
- Fe:
- an
- Atom's
- Tale,
- the
- science
- on

- writing
- style
- ensures
- that
- readers
- remain
- entertained
- rather
- than
- overwhelmed.

- Fe
- may
- be
- a
- single,
- mindless
- atom
- of
- iron,

- character
- rides
- on
- a
- meteor,

- Tale
