The story starts with a look at Sol’s inhabitants living on its many rocks and using Solar Sail empowered space ships. We explore the structure and problems of that environment. Future past history shows how this society came into existence and their path forward.
The second part, “H2LiftShips, the journey,” has our protagonists, Jack and Tang, working with a boost crew to cross the empty divide between two H2LiftShips just beyond Earth’s space before space.
We look at the design and functionality of the H2LiftShips, how the crews interact, and introduce the roles and actions of senior crew members. Snarky interactions and doggy flirting add some action to the story.
Volume 2 continues with the Anti-Dystopian theme following Sentients living after the next 3 pandemics.
We have SolarSails, nuclear boosts, coal for steel
No aliens, but an Octopus 1st Mate
No blasters, but spinning meat bola weapon
