The Tellurian Diaspora
Scope
The motivation behind building The Tellurian Diaspora
Consistency from story to story, adventure to adventure, depends on having my references, timelines, etc. readily available as I'm writing.
The Tellurian Diaspora's Unique Selling point
Nothing moves faster than a flow-pressure space sail ship (So far.) (That we know of.) Not communications, not other technology. It's almost a little old-fashioned that way. Technology has limits.
Theme
Genre
This is Space Opera! Adventure, swashes buckling, deadly peril, wisecracking crewmates, and all the trappings of Grand Adventure. In the world of the Tellurian Diaspora. Where spaceships have sails. Yo-heave-ho and a bottle of Saurian Brandy on a Dead Being's Chest.
Recurring Themes
- Can you become the best possible you? In spite of all the forces aligned to defeat you or corrupt you?
- Can humankind achieve its best self in a Universe also peopled by beings other than human? How do we interact with the Different, the Other?
- What happens when your comfortable assumptions about How Things Are intersect with a reality that is vaster and more varied than you could ever have imagined?
- When your assumptions about How Things Should Be run up against a reality full of others' ideas about How Things Should Be, what choices do you make?
