REAPERS OF THE DAMNED

Book 1 of 3

The Journey Begins

 

• The concept for the first novel was inspired by an article I read about dealing with Near Earth Objects.

• I promptly outlined a story about a mining space station and its crew mining such an asteroid.

• I had not conceived of the vile mega-corporation, Gemcore at this stage.

• Being a technologist at heart, the primary focus was on dreaming up new technologies and integrating them into the plot. The reason why the entity attacked or how it did it wasn't well defined at this stage.

• I then took a page out of George Lucas' handbook and began adding more depth to the story and characters by writing their backstories. Identified by Islamic Motifs that I consciously or Unconsciously included in the story.
