Some of you might actually like it when it's finished.

The backstory of this was a conversation on a facebook post by one of my favorite sci fi authors. Somebody, possibly him said that there weren't enough romance stories with exploding spaceships. I wrote two throwaway joke paragraphs about a lesbian couple making out as an exploding spaceship burned up in the atmosphere, and suddenly people wanted to read the idea. So I've been playing with it for a few weeks, and finally started working on the introduction.

Sci fi readers will quickly note I am a Heinlein fan, and it figures in some of the thinking in this story. This story is set sometime in the early 22nd century. There is a permanent moon colony, with an orbiting lunar station. There is a smaller base on Mars, which supports a fleet of mining craft in the asteroid belt. The United States has had a religious revival (think the spirit of the religious revivals of the early 19th century) which has placed a strongly religious and increasingly theocratic government in place. (Yes, it's a commentary on modern times, thank you for noticing.) The exploding spaceship in the story is a mining support vessel which has been fitted with weapons, and is used as a sort of orbiting giant fist to intimidate a united Europe. As the arming of this vessel was unexpected, and there are no comparable sized vessels in space under European, Indian, Chinese or South American control, it will be some time before anyone else can get additional military power into space, although the Chinese space station may actually be armed, and the Russian lunar outpost features missiles and a small cannon. Not all of these elements will appear in this story, but they are there.

Anyway, here is a 363 word rough, unedited, unpolished teaser for what I am writing. It has a bit of everything. Hot lesbians, exploding spaceships, theocrats, a second constitution restoring American Revolution, good guy NSA that saves the Republic, space stations, atomic weapons, etc... maybe even nudity and sex of all sorts.

Quote:
It's not every night that you make love in an alpine meadow under a night sky lit up by burning debris from an exploding spaceship, but it's not every day that your wife was repeatedly raped by an admiral. Later that day as I held Jill in my arms, I swore vengeance, and started making plans. Even with Jill brought into the fold, there were maybe a hundred of us, and nearly half of were scattered between the Moon and Mars. But the rest of us... well, the NSA of all people had been at this for a LONG time. But that's putting the cart ahead of the horse.

It is easy to look back fifty years and consider what the Second American Revolution brought forth, but for those of us who were there, and who kick started the whole thing, it was thirteen months of pure hell, worry and joy all rolled up into one incredible victory. But there is a reason we celebrate Jill Park-Henderson Day and it really is because she finally was one victim too many, and some of us had had enough.

You probably learned the basics in school. We are just another couple of revolutionaries among many. I would argue the men and women of Heinlein Base and Lunar Orbital Station 2 played a greater role in winning the Revolution than Jill and I did, to say nothing of Colonel Branson's victory in Dallas which broke the back of the government forces and opened a clear path for victory. But we are in the books, because one lovely day in Seattle we ran into each other at a conference for long distance communications in space, and were soon smitten. I was the keynote speaker, and Jill was there in her capacity as a satellite engineer for the US Space Command. This was just before the Great Revival, and when it was still socially acceptable in the old United States for two women to be seen together. She approached me after my lecture to ask some technical questions, and what happened next was a whirlwind romance that culminated in our marriage in a quiet ceremony on Mount Rainier.

The person telling the story has some bionic parts, so you've got some robotics right there.

I was actually thinking the cannon was a 20mm cannon for picking off space debris and the like. Less of a power drain on the base, I haven't decided yet. Depends on how much time I spend in this story on the lunar bases. This one is more about the personal relationship between the two woman, some back story on the movement that touches this whole thing off, the asshole admiral, and the exploding spaceship. It will lead into a second story that will probably spend more time on the moon.

I'll post the entire prologue where when it's done. Then you all can wait for me to finish the whole thing and put it up for sale.

If I can sell 5000 copies on Amazon at $2.99 each, I will arrange for an AK 47 or AR 15 PIF here on WaGuns.

Umm not quite. The whole concept was a throw away joke that a lot of people wanted to see fleshed out, so what was comic absurdity is now actual serious fiction.

Ok back up a bit......

So let me get this straight.

Your wife has been repetedly raped by an Admiral and you celebrate by getting some under the lights of an exploding spaceship.?

Im not a woman but would hazard a guess that a rape victim would not be in any mood for romance under any conditions for quite a while.

Extremely doubtful that same day.

And she was REPETEDLY RAPED...

You'd be lucky to get some in the next millenium.

But I guess if he wants to write a book for only Dudes then lets throw in some three boobed two vagina domination warriors that kill their enemy by fucking their brains out.




Kjr7mfr is gonna kick my ass.....

Nobody likes a critic.

Well, starting out with two lesbians and an exploding starship ... I think this is clearly a story for dudes. And geeky young girls.

The main character is a lesbian????

Awesome.....its a kill all mean male species that rape book.

Maybe there is a place in the story for the two vagina warrior.

Then they can make a movie from the book and show it on Oxygen.
