My series, Atrapako on Eden,
offers different scenarios for our future.
Earth/Terra is
overcrowded, polluted and people rely on virtual entertainment.
Eden
The remote planet of
Eden lies in a solar system near the edge of the galactic arms. Eden has two
moons, called Mars and Venus. The planet has been terraformed and many native species
from Terra were transplanted into large uninhabited regions. A colony of
Terran-born humans live in the major city of Riverside and smaller rural communities.
Society is supported by a high level of technology, although not overtly. The
people enjoy festivals and a variety of “non-virtual” leisure activities. A small
spaceport lies just outside Riverside for shuttles from rare visiting
spaceships. The Space Traders visit every few years.
Book 1, The Lady is Blue,
is set on Eden.
Vkani
Vkani’s solar system is
partially obscured by a dust cloud. The planet has a single moon called the Red
Child. The planet Vkani has a desolate environment and post-apocalyptic society.
A thousand years ago, a nuclear catastrophe destroyed civilization and
devastated the environment. Cities were buried under radioactive sand in
extensive desert regions called the Deadlands. The humanoid survivors mutated,
or possibly were engineered, to adapt to the new environment. Atrapako have
protective scales and a rigid, color-coded society. Blues are the dominant
caste, Greens are scientists and technologists. Reds are laborers and soldiers.
All others, including children, are Yellows.
During a brief technological
renaissance about a hundred years ago, the Atrapako built spaceships to seek a
more hospitable planet (see Book 1). Unfortunately, conditions on the planet
haven’t improved since they left (see Books 2 & 3).
My latest addition to this series, Book 3, Trapped on Vkani,
is set on Vkani
