The science is primarily in the prolonged and excruciating consequences of billionaires going to Mars, claiming that they (or rather, the first wave of colonists they send ahead of themselves) will figure it out when they get there, then they experience all the ravages of poison dust that penetrates almost anything, fractional levels of Earth gravity, radiation exposure because of the lack of a magnetic field, and an insatiable demand for more supply launches to keep the entire topheavy enterprise from completely collapsing, further stripping and polluting the Earth behind them.
Also, plenty of modern works don’t answer your “where’s the science?” question, either. Having whizbang explodey guns and killing those dirty aliens doesn’t have much science either but that’s what Amazon says is science fiction.
I’ve received a tug-of-war of advice about what to write so far.
It’s hard not to accept that this is a business and I am trying to make some money to get by, and it’s hard not to agree with the person that said that no one is really that interested in the story but instead in the sexy violent spectacles. A few decades of HBO will demonstrate that much. That said, it’s too exhausting and crushing for me to write yet another Mass Effect with the numbers filed off, even if that seems quite profitable for the factory writers that keep pushing that out.
My books can be found here, including links to the first five chapters.
My books are Tulpa Uprising, Tulpa War (just released today) and I’m working on the finale of the trilogy, Tulpa Rebirth, now.
They can be found there. Amazon’s where I typically assume reviews are seen.
