Rocket Fall
![]() |
Sometimes you suffer setback, disillusionment, or even defeat.
And sometimes you almost destroy mom and
dad's house, as Jack was about to find out.
Rocket Fall is the second short story in the author's Manifold Earth Universe: Rocket Series. Beginning in the near future and extending into the far future, the Manifold Earth Universe extrapolates future humanity's struggles, failures, and successes in moving out into the vast cosmos.
See the Manifold Earth tab to read Rocket Fall.

Dark Side

Click To Buy |
The print version of the Remembered Earth Universe novella Dark Side should be available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other retailers in the next couple of days (the epub will be released July 20). This is the eight story in the Cislunar Series and introduces the reader to Moon settlements, facilities in cislunar space (basically Earth-Moon space), and the friction that may develop between commercial and scientific interests on the Moon.
In this case, mining interests threaten the operation of an already building radio-telescope on the far side of the Moon. The scientists are worried that the mining operations will create electromagnetic interference, making the successful functioning of the telescope impossible.
Into this situation comes a recently graduated law student whose job is to find a way to make sure the use of the telescope will not be impaired. But he fails, and in failing succeeds.
To see how, read Dark Side in print now, or later in an epub (July 20, 2023) version.
While part of a series, Dark Side can be read as a stand-alone.
The Remembered Earth Universe: Cislunar Series extrapolates the development of cislunar space over the next century and tends to use more probable science and technology than my other universe Future Chron which uses more speculative science as a background.
