Soon, my next book will launch. It’s The Seastead Chronicles, the first book in a series by the same name.
Throughout history, humanity confined itself to a small fraction of the Earth—the land. In the future, we take to the sea.
Fifteen short stories chronicle humanity’s 21st century struggle to colonize the seas. They include pioneering attempts to own and defend sectors of the ocean, scrambles over vast mineral resources, and quests by oppressed populations to live free. You’ll follow fierce sea battles over boundaries, experiments with unique forms of government, and efforts to forge a new, ocean-based culture.
Along the way, you’ll meet the bold and quirky characters who defy continental powers and their innate, land-adapted nature to settle and thrive in the water. You’ll get to explore the seasteads where they live, their shining aquatic cities—some fixed and some mobile—on and under the ocean. In reading this book, you’ll view life from their perspective, a world where water isn’t just for travel or temporary work—it’s home.
As Ray Bradbury did with Mars and J.R.R. Tolkien did with Middle Earth, I present a new world, but it’s our Earth with fresh borders within its oceans. Welcome to The Seastead Chronicles.
Stay tuned to this blog for further details. The book could launch in just a few days from Pole to Pole Publishing. It’s the first published story collection by—
