One of the main reasons I love reading
and writing sci-fi is because, in most cases, it is tied to reality
and foretells a plausible future. Many ideas from sci-fi works have
already become reality—in 1865, Jules Verne's novel, “From the
Earth to the Moon,” tells the story of three people being launched
by a “space gun” to arrive on the moon. For his time, Verne's
vision was quite impressive, and even his actual calculations weren't
far off from reality. In 1990, Paul Verhoven's film, “Total
Recall,” featured robotaxis, but today, fully automated taxis exist
in Masdar City in the United Arab Emirates, and Google is working
hard on developing self-driving cars. Science fiction is often an
exciting view at what is to come, and I know that when I write (for
Solar Echoes or for other sci-fi works,) I often spend a lot of time
researching what is being developed and what might become reality.
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
