Parts
Foundations of Fate
The first part of the serial work, "Foundations of Fate", took place from 12 June - 17 September 2822. As its names implies, it laid the groundwork for what was to come. "Foundations" highlighted the political jockeying and burgeoning inter-Clan rivalries.
Treachery's Stage
Book Two, "Treachery's Stage", covered 10 June - 7 October 2083. At the center of the story was the struggle over the Brian Cache that sparked the Clan Wolverine Trial of Annihilation saga.
The Switchback Directive
"The Switchback Directive" ran from 8 - 24 October 2823. Wolverine Khan Sarah McEvedy faced down the other Khans and ilKhan Nicholas Kerensky in a series of Grand Council sessions. The story also described the first shots fired as the Wolverines seceded from the Clans and the fateful use of nuclear weapons.
Asunder
The final chapter in Betrayal of Ideas was "Asunder", which described events that took place from 25 October 2823 - 10 January 2840. What was once Clan Wolverine largely fled from Clan space. The story offered tantalizing hints as to the fate of the Wolverines without confirming that they had, in fact, survived.
