The author's experiences as a technician, technologist, Military Officer, Project Manager and late-to-the fold Pink Floyd/Roger Waters and melodic progressive music fan have greatly influenced the two TCOM books. He is still a consultant to the Defense Communications Industry and still travels frequently to the Canadian Arctic, in all seasons.
TCOM2 continues the story of Sam Aiken on Mars. It was written between 2011 and 2018 and underwent many changes in that time that made it less in the style of TCOM1 and turned it into something else. It does answer many of the questions left unanswered in TCOM1 (some intentionally, some not) but it is not the same in terms of pacing and the attempt to mimic classic sci-fi of the nineteen thirties, forties and fifties (although there is some of that too). Music influenced the writing of TCOM1 in some ways, mostly subtly. Music is present in TCOM2, for a different reason.
Orion is the story of the 1970s nuclear powered spaceship that appears in TCOM1 and TCOM2.view less
