The Chaos Creators is an adventure story; a story of conflicts between and among gods and humans. It follows the trials of two tribal soldiers as they are set adrift from their world of war and desolation and transplanted into a peaceful and plentiful alien land. After witnessing the foundational underpinnings of an advanced society, they struggle to fit in, then attempt a seemingly impossible task: to return to their homeland and insert this foreign foundation to support its rapidly collapsing social structure. A family of gods disagree as to the ultimate worth of the humans they themselves created. They disagree as to the advisability of continuing to grant humans free will, given the mess they made of the world as they exercised that freedom. They disagree about the advisability of assisting these two soldiers to accomplish their task. If the humans fail in their mission to transform their society in the face of violent resistance, well, apocalypse is an alternative. The Chaos Creators is an allegory. It looks at current issues regarding the treatment of people regarded as the other and the use of war to resolve disputes with them. It explores the potential of religion to broaden the definition of us to include not only them, but to include our environment as well. It suggests that without greater appreciation of the absolute interdependence within the community of humans and their relationship to the whole of nature, our current practices are destined to destroy both.
