Hello!
I'm D.W. Patterson and I am a writer of Hard Science Fiction - Old School.
While plot and character drive the storytelling in my writing, physics also plays an important role. However, this is not known physics but highly extrapolated future physics.
This extrapolated physics is not "just made up" but has its genesis in current research or popular science books. This is an important point for me, although it may seem to be "made up" science and technology, it has the possibility, however slightly, to come true. At least, at this point, to my knowledge, nothing I've written can be ruled out.
Thank you for reading.
The Realm: A Novel
The area in space known as The Realm contains thousands of galaxies. Nowhere else in the universe is the concentration of galaxies as high.
But the thick, constant cloud cover on Maripol, a planet in the huge Virgo Cluster in The Realm, prevents its residents from seeing the wondrous sight of trillions of stars.
There, 60 million light-years from Earth, survivors of a lost starship struggle to maintain their civilization.
But one of them, Erin Jones, is about to begin an adventure which will take her those 60 million light-years to Earth and back. And along the way, with the help of her AI friends Great Gramps and Maxwell, she will save her civilization from the “other AIs” and see The Realm in all its magnificence.
The Realm is the first novel in my new universe of the same name. Though new characters and stories, much of the extrapolated science, with some new ideas, is taken from my universe's Future Chron and Forgotten Earth.
