A New Project

Al Steiner is arguably one of the best authors, if not the best, on SOL. You can imagine it was with some trepidation that I sent him an email. What would he think if somebody wanted to do a sequel to his science fiction masterpiece, the top-rated book on the website? Well, he said…yes. (My initial reaction, much like Wayne and Garth, was to bow down and call out, "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!") He made a few rules, all of which I understood and agreed to, and even provided considerable editing assistance. As always, the fuckups are mine and mine alone. While not required, if you haven't already read Greenies, it is highly suggested; there's a lot of backstory.

To those who say he already has a sequel in A Perfect World, allow me to correct that common misperception. A Perfect World was published on this site between 11/24/04 and 12/29/04 and covers events occurring mostly in 2191. The following year he published Greenies between 9/21/05 and 8/30/06, covering events mostly in the year 2146. In other words, Greenies was the prequel to A Perfect World. The third story in the series, Homebodies, was posted from 8/1/17 through 8/11/18 and occurs in 3217, over a thousand years in the future.

Martian Justice takes place in the years 2146 through 2150 and is about the second Martian invasion, which is mentioned in A Perfect World, though few details are given. One thing to be careful about. There may well be discrepancies between some of the novels. I'll go into that at some point in the future, but that's the way it worked out. For the eagle-eyed readers of the series, you'll have already found differences in the details between Greenies, A Perfect World, and Homebodies. I have tried to be as accurate as possible, but I have primarily tried to stay true to Greenies.

I will be publishing on my standard schedule, Tuesdays and Fridays. Enjoy!
