The Suns Own Tomorrow
The year is 2452 and naturally occurring wormholes have been discovered. An expedition to colonize the third planet in the Carina system has been mounted. A settlement established on the planet and a space elevator constructed. Colonists are coming from earth, and a naval fleet has arrived in the system.
But humans aren’t the only species interested in Carina 3. A race of insectoid aliens arrives through the wormhole and attempts to destroy the colony. It becomes a monumental war as the two species fight for the same territory.
I attempted to write this novel in the style of Larry Niven, or Jerry Pournelle, in that everything, with the exception of the wormholes, is true to what is possible in known physics. For example, in order to move through space you must project mass in the opposite direction. Newtonian physics. I also wanted a completely new plot line never before done. Many writers shy away from a full blown battle in space but I took that on as well. You may judge how well I managed these attempts.
This is the first of at least three novels. The next installment is titled “The Other Side of Tomorrow” and is in its last stages before publication. My goal is to entertain, and sell books of course.
The Suns' Own Tomorrow eBook Rabb Marcellus
The author is building a story(s?) whose universe is based on real-world physics, rather than Star Trek type physics. No warp drives, artificial gravity, or capital ships that are as nimble as an F-15. This deliberate limitation requires a bit of creative tinkering, one example being in the form of semi-permanent wormholes. I can't really comment on the reality or feasibility of wormholes, but at least it doesn't bend your sense of belief like FTL.The main story is interesting. We've explored these wormholes and thus far, found a single planet suitable for colonization. With these technical limitations in mind, it becomes apparent that the new colony is vital to Earth's future. But the colony is attacked by an alien race of unknown capabilities, and the force protecting the colony is hard pressed to defend, let alone survive.
It is the sub-plots and editing which causes me to rate the story as 3-stars ("it's OK"). The sub-plots are soap-opera fodder (infidelity, gratuitous sex, etc). While I suspect the author is using these plot devices to breathe life into his characters, I feel their use is somewhat unnecessary.
The editing is the second point. Looking at the authors offerings, I realize he is a new author, and professional editing is expensive, and may seem like a luxury to a new author, so I try not be harsh. But the text could really use a good shakedown. Missing or extraneous quotes, commas, and other punctuation marks; grammar and typographical errors. My favorite was "The fleet was in trouble and may not nmjh"... I was reminded of the Castle of Argh in Monty Python.
The story ends on a fairly decisive victory, yet with a blatant opening for a followup volume. I would like to see what happens, and hope that at the very least, a better edited text is presented.
