Manifold Earth Universe

The Manifold Earth Universe will follow the effects on the future of the developments of today's science. Specifically, the change in space travel as new inventions, based on what can be found in the popular reports on science and online scientific papers today, are introduced.

Of course, settlement beyond Earth will be a third thread. (For Earth-Moon space (Cislunar Space) without any "breakthrough" science see my universe Remembered Earth). 

And importantly, the effects of these changes on humanity as science and technology advance. This will be reflected in the characters.

The stories can be found at the links below in chronological order. It starts with the main character as a young boy and follows his pursuit of the future.

Sometimes it's dangerous to pursue your dreams.

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 Winter (click here to read draft version, click pic to pre-order)

Jack's idea would truly change the world. But creating a new kind of rocket engine had its costs.

Jack had failed once and almost died.

Now he had failed a second time and it looked like it would be the last. Unless he found support.

Then he found out through his mom that his dad, though long dead, had left the financial support he needed. And his mom, of course, was his number one supporter. And then there was Janie …
