TSN: The Sea of Grass
The Sea of Grass takes place in the same Terran Space Navy universe as my previous novels. This one though is approximately 600 years in the future of the events in TSN: Epiphany and TSN: The Best Laid Plans.
David Fletcher, Explorer First Class, Terran Space Navy, has been contracted to explore a planet known as 'Baker's Dozen'; on his way to that assignment the TSN vessel 'Tiger Lily' was attacked and destroyed. Dave and his Cyberform companion Chet were in a Time Stasis shipping container. They and a basic Data Storage Library as well as their usual basic exploration package were ejected during the attack in the faint hope that they at least might survive.
The world of the Sea of Grass is an unusual one, inhabited by the descendents of the survivors of ship wrecks, sinkings and a few 'abductees' mostly over a period of time lasting approximately a century from the 1840's to the 1950's.There are of course some exceptions as it appears the 'unknown' race that was doing these sort of rescues and abductions for close to a millennium prior to the period of maximum 'gathering'.
The technology of the world of the Sea of Grass is a mish-mash of low to mid tech level technology. When the people arrived on the world of the sea of grass they brought virtually nothing with them. Only a few books came along, most of the reference, history and technical books of the era didn't arrive. So what knowledge there remained was only in the brains of the survivors.
And Humans being Humans eventually they will find 'something' to squabble about.
So we now start the beginning of another series in the TSN Universe with the Sea of Grass.

A very good book to read with an interesting premise. The plot was good, characters actually believe able, and the action well modulated. There was also a little military protocol involved also.
