Keith collaborated with NASA to produce a simulation-based exhibition that focused on the basic concepts of spaceflight and their possible application in the colonization of our solar system.

We simulated environments using space probe data and created future vehicles that were accurate down to proper tank volumes. We created an entire system for solar system exploration so detailed that it became real to me and the kinds of people who would live there, the adventures they might have, also became real in my imagination.
Let me just stress that the basis for these books is a NASA collaboration but these books are most assuredly not. The realistic world we see at the beginning of these stories is a launching point. One that NASA, I’m sure would be pleased with, but as they venture into the unknown we leave the tracks entirely and the occurrences, although I enjoy keeping a certain scientific grounding, head straight into the fantastic.

Lonelectorem Review of Book 3

Thank you, IG's @lonelectorem for yet another epic review. This time for WINE DARK DEEP: The Odyssey

"When I started reading this series with its first book ‘Wine Dark Deep’ I found its descriptions very complex and overly technical. Now, after reading the third book of this series I finally find myself getting comfortable with the author's writing style and his techniques. What I learned about @rp Read more of this blog post »
