Custom Order
Noah Parker has made a name for himself, designing genetically engineered dragons for Reptilian Corp. Of course, most of his day is writing genetic code for one of the many “standard model” dragons his company produces. But every now and then, he gets a crack at creating something custom for a high-paying customer. Always a challenge, these custom jobs help break up the day-to-day of his job—hey, even creating dragons can get boring if you do it long enough! But when an order for a fire-breathing dragon crosses his desk—a heretofore unheard of request—Noah Parker will have to use all his skills to get the job done. Read “Fire-Breathing Dragon,” by Dan Koboldt, here. |
The Way to Space
In Joelle Presby’s The Dabare Snake Launcher, the race is on to build the world’s first space elevator. But creating such an engineering miracle is no easy task. While the novel is not short on technical detail, we thought readers might be interested in a closer look at what it might really take to build a space elevator. Here then, Andy Presby’s “fiction non-fiction” article “Origins of the West African Launcher from TCG Files.” Read “Origins of the West African Launcher from TCG Files,” here. |
