Thermals

Начало книги

Thermals is the first novel I’ve been comfortable enough to offer up for sale, and I’m really pretty proud of it. The concept came from my earlier days of writing and hanging around Baen’s Bar at Baen.com. Jim Baen created a forum specifically to challenge writers, and the first challenge he posted was to write a story about a new type of Power Generation Facility. There were actually several different versions proposed at the time, but the one used here in Thermals just caught my attention.

About four months of writing resulted in this novel, which was pretty decent time for me, and I really liked the outcome. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough to impress Mr Baen, so it stayed on my hard drive until just recently.

Whether he wanted to publish it or not, I have to thank Jim Baen for challenging me to write this novel, it’s been a great experience and I’m proud of the outcome. He and I didn’t actually get along on the boards, but for all his bluntness and irascible nature, I can only hope and pray to one day add a tenth of the contribution he has to the science fiction community.
