The Starchild Trilogy
(2018)(A book in the Starchild Saga series)
An omnibus of novels by Robert Williscroft
Award-winning Slingshot, TheStarchild Compact & The Iapetus Federation in one volume:
Slingshot
Constructing Slingshot, the first space launch-loop stretching 2,000 km between Baker and Jarvis Islands in the Equatorial Pacific. Slingshot opens space to the ordinary person. Lunar and transcontinental plane trips cost about the same. Slingshot’s characters loom larger than life as they work, play, and love from Seattle’s world financial district, to the ocean bottom off Baker Island, to the edge of space. Award-winning hard science fiction reminiscent of Arthur C. Clark’s Fountains of Paradise and Charles Sheffield��s Webb Between the Worlds.
The Starchild Compact
Jon Stock and crew travel to Saturn’s moon, Iapetus. While underway they deal with a Jihadist stowaway. They discover Iapetus to be a derelict starship and meet the Founders, descendants of the starship builders. Their revelations impact the entire Solar System with momentous implications going backward and forward in time, paving the way for a joint push to the distant reaches of the Galaxy.
The Iapetus Federation
The Iapetus Federation expands Solar Systemwide, while the Caliphate sweeps Earth. The Starchild Institute creates wormhole portals, using them to rescue groups not yet overrun by the Caliphate. Earth sinks into medievalism, while human activity shifts to the Iapetus Federation. Humans settle every potentially habitable spot in the Solar System and begin expanding into the rest of the Galaxy.
