Book Description
This science fiction novel is for those seeking to understand what it means to be human. During this interstellar journey one will; commit an original sin or few, bear witness to the end of the world, journey to far-flung regions of outer space, discover strange cities to adore, explore alien planets with peculiar kinds of friends, rebuild an empire within a crystallized dome, go from being hero to having zero with a sun-bright shriek, recall a lifetime once worn, ponder the reasoning for being, rebel upon a scheme, recreate a Lazarus act, fight with marines to retain the keep, implant a cultured seed beneath icy seas, build a life inside a utopian dream, make love with an elegant golden flower dancer from the lake, go on a quest to discover the truth of vampiric robbers and king, have a gladiatorial fight in an amphitheatre beneath the stars, stare down a quartet of samurai sentinels, recall the last days of the civilization of man, stand before an exotic queen and her imperial guards, lock swords with a devious other and a band of brothers, resolve a mystery only to discover a greater mystery is at hand, then struggle to accept what it was all for. So sit back into a comfortable chair; put your feet up with a cuppa, and let’s go on an adventure to distant stars, via that movie screen in your mind. PG - 13 : Parental Guidance Recommended This novel does contain descriptions of moderate action violence, suggestive adult content, controlled drug use, political themes, and some persons could interpret that it has religious connotations. Events and behaviours have been presented as realistic as possible; so as to be true to the human condition. Technical Notes The technologies described in this novel are based on the extrapolations (over the next 100 years) of existing 21st century engineering and science. The technical solutions proposed are derived specifically to resolve the engineering (as well as social and economic) problems resulting from the story’s premise and associated situational circumstances. Alas, the storyline does not utilize advanced technologies such as; faster than light travel (e.g. warp drives), wormholes, jump gates, teleportation, time travel, parallel dimensioning, and other such techno wizardry.
