Sci-Fi

Some stories are epic.
The Earth is in a state of collapse, with wars breaking out over resources and an environment pushed to the edge by human greed.
Three living generation ships have been built with a combination of genetic mastery, artificial intelligence, technology, and raw materials harvested from the asteroid belt. This is the story of one of them—43 Ariadne, or Forever, as her inhabitants call her—a living world that carries the remaining hopes of humanity, and the three generations of scientists, engineers, and explorers working to colonize her.
From her humble beginnings as a seedling saved from disaster to the start of her journey across the void of space toward a new home for the human race, The Stark Divide tells the tales of the world, the people who made her, and the few who will become something altogether beyond human.
Humankind has just taken its first step toward the stars.
Book One of Liminal Sky
My Review:
Three people, two men, Jackson Hammon, Colin McAvery and a
woman, Dr. Anastasia Anatov are sent out into the universe on ship called the
Dressler or Lex for short, a living ship to find a place to build a new Earth
on as the people are destroying the old Earth.
Over the years more and more people come to live and help to
create this new Earth that is called Forever. Dr. Anatov returns after many
years on Earth hoping to get some closure or maybe to set things right for what
happened all those years ago on the asteroid before it became Forever. She needs
to somehow make amends for what happened on the ship.
The world building in The Stark Divide was astronomical it
sort of reminded me of Star Trek in some ways. I liked that the ship Lex has a
mind of her own and was a living thing. The description of the ship and the new
world was so amazing. The author made you fill as if you were there looking
around in the universe and seeing it all up close.
If you like stories like Star Trek then I think you will
love The Stark Divide. I would recommend The Stark Divide to all science
fiction fans.
About the Author
Scott spends his time between the here and now and the what could be. Enticed into fantasy and sci fi by his mom at the tender age of nine, he devoured her Science Fiction Book Club library. But as he grew up, he wondered where all the people like him were in the books he was reading.
He decided that it was time to create the kinds of stories he couldn’t find at his local bookstore. If there weren’t gay characters in his favorite genres, he would remake them to his own ends.
His friends say Scott’s mind works a little differently – he sees relationships between things that others miss, and gets more done in a day than most folks manage in a week. He loves to transform traditional sci fi, fantasy, and contemporary worlds into something unexpected.
Starting in 2014, Scott has published more than 15 works, including two novels and a number of novellas and short stories.
He runs both Queer Sci Fi and QueeRomance Ink with his husband Mark, sites that bring queer people together to promote and celebrate fiction that reflects their own lives.
