In 2012, I wrote a science fiction story featuring Jin, the human finder, a woman from a future in which Earth is one of many worlds conquered by the Ashloj Collective. That story, “The Stone of the First High Pontiff,” appeared in the Defending the Future anthology Best Laid Plans, and was reprinted in 2016 in The Best of Defending the Future after eSpec Books took over publishing that anthology series.
