FLY HIGHER - A Scifi Novel [Updated Chapters]


The Raging Sandwich

Recommended Posts

Hello, fellow scifi lovers! I'm back again with another science fiction book. This one is called FLY HIGHER, it's a book about a younger boy who starts his own little space program with the intentions of leaving Earth but runs into several roadblocks along the way. A full conversation about it between me and @Spaceception, author of other awesome scifi books such as The Void and The Children Between Worlds, can be found here:

Also, you may have seen parts of my first book (WIP) Outpost, a scifi story (not necessarily a novel) about a crew going on an intergalactic journey searching for a planet with life. It can be found here:

So what do you think? Post any thoughts or ideas down below. :)

Thanks for the mention :)

Although, The Void is being rewritten, and The children between worlds is still being edited :P

 

Y'know, Aside from you and me, there's been a few members who're writing science fiction, not just KSP fan works...

I gonna start a new thread for that.

 

Anyway, can't wait for the first chapter :)

Its being written right now and will be posted here later! Since I'm writing two books at the same time, I'm writing one chapter at a time in each. Once I finish a chapter in one of the books (I'm starting this with Fly Higher), I'll write one chapter in the other.

Interesting! Before i even knew about the book you were writing, i was thinking of a story called "Alexander". It is a story about a boy who was born after a disaster were all electronics were shut down, so there are no satellite conncections any more and no internet. Alexander wants to recover this global network in his lifetime, but he also wants to colonize other celestial bodies. He gives birth of 2 kids later in his life, wich are going to be his first Astronauts when they grow up.

So i had pretty much exactly the same idea as yours, but i will leave it to you. Since you are the first one to actually release the idea to the public.

I would love to see how this goes! Good luck! Im looking forward on how its gonna look like.

Things really get wonky when there're no electronics, right? :confused::sticktongue:

Well, there are, but not the fancy nancy x-ray stuff. The only electronics that are there are lamps and that basic stuff. I think if am going to write the story, the birth part will not be included because it IS wonky. Oh and i made a bit of a mistake, Alexander is not giving birth, his wife is. Lol that was a wonky mistake rofl.

That sounds cool, but a bit different than what I have in mind for this. Different enough that they're not really the same idea, but the same concept of running your own space program!

Well done! It is awesome so far! Is this going to be such a story with a neverending summer break? Just wondering.
