Plot
Wraparound cover by Jim Calafiore. Following the events of Force Works 15, Century and his friends have departed Earth in the Broker's spaceship. They plan to return each one of the Broker's long-time prisoners to his or hers native planet! It's a noble quest indeed, but sadly many of the prisoners' homelands have long since been destroyed...including Century's. Meanwhile is his cell onboard the ship, the Broker plots his revenge! With the help of nasty brain stem parasites, the Broker takes command of his slaves again! And makes a deal to sell Century to a strange alien called Imogen! Who in turn wants Century's help in stealing a powerful trans-dimensional object called the crucible! What a mess! Does Century have any chance of getting back home...wherever that may be? (Notes: Century returns to Earth in Force Works 19 and rejoins the team. The inside front cover recaps Century's origin to date. There are not any advertisements inside.)
