Stimulating Sci-Fi

Three years ago I brought together a number of ideas to create a new novel which I called The Cabal. It’s name changed to Terra 3. (which name do you prefer?)

a. I set it hundreds of years in the future.

b. I envisioned a population explosion resulting in a multilayered world with a hierarchy of strata. The wealthy live in floating mansions; the multitudes live in small domiciles, like bees in a hive.

c. I envisioned a new form of space travel that enabled craft to travel through hyperspace to colonise the galaxy.

d. The System comprised two elements. The central highly populated planets were known as the Core; the less populated, outer plats were known as the Rim.

e. Life within the strata was made bearable by the use of a psychotropic drug known as Stim or Glow.

f. Air had to be manufactured and pumped in, all food was synthesised in bacterial vats and distributed via servos.

g. The President is an unscrupulous self-server, motivated by greed and lust for power, in the mold of Trump.

h. The power behind the President is a group of extremely callous super-wealthy trillionaires.

i. They use the President to instigate a war between Core and Rim from which they can gain huge profits.

Having produced the first novel with this setting I used the same setting to create 4 more:

The Scrolls of Pandora 3 (involving religious fanaticism)

DremeWorld (based around an Elon Musk-type businessman)

A Message From Hermes (An alien craft, corrupt politicians and a humble delivery man)

Ghenghis Smith) (A man leads a depressed life down in the strata, searching for meaning and hope)

All five novels are complete. Terra 3 has been professionally edited. The other four have been rewritten and edited in house.

I am now looking for a publisher!
