Ahorion is a constellation novel and a mine novel because it combines the literary imprint of the constellation Orion – the ruler of the winter sky – and the mine of knowledge about the prehistoric people who inhabited the area of present-day Vučedol.
At the center of the story is a strong and aloof hero (a typical Grey character) who arrives in an area known as “Horse Empire Hill,” a place where exceptional wild and semi-wild horses are bred.
The story follows Logan Huett, a former scout for General Crook, who realizes his dreams of a self-sustaining life in a secluded canyon, building a homestead alongside his wife Lucinda and children.
