Back in 2001, when I first started working on this time travel story, I thought it was going to be three hundred pages at most. But then it got big, and then it got bigger. Yeah, I know, the whole thing doesn't add up to as many pages as George R.R. Martin's A Storm of Swords, the third volume of his bazzilionology "A Song of Ice and Fire." But I decided that my story would work best as a trilogy, with three volumes of three hundred some pages each.
There are three main characters: Tucker Feye, who dominates the first book, Lah Lia, who takes up most of Book 2, and Tucker's uncle Kosh, whose secrets are revealed in The Klaatu Terminus. Their stories are interlinked, all the characters appear in all three books, and their fates will be revealed in the third volume.
The trilogy is now complete. The final book, The Klaatu Terminus, was published on April 8, 2014.
I am using this site to post videos, reviews, interviews, and other tidbits related to the trilogy, including information on Mayo (the autistic-dominated technocracy of the 2300s), Romelas (the human sacrifice-driven theocracy that replaced Mayo in 2423), and the post-physical utopia of the Klaatu known as the Cluster.
To start things off, here's an article I wrote called "Stealing from the Best." All writers steal ideas from other writers. You can call it "repurposing," "homage," "sampling," "borrowing," or whatever other term serves to validate the practice. I prefer steal, and in no genre will you find so much unapologetic and outright piracy as in science fiction and fantasy. It comes down to this: nearly all sci-fi/fantasy is, at heart, fan fiction, and I am, at heart, a fan.
I've also written a few words about why The Klaatu Diskos is a trilogy, rather than one big fat novel.
And a link to reviews.
