The Honeycomb Comet

What happens when mankind discovers a moon-sized alien?

SALT LAKE CITY – Roger Bourke White Jr. adds another novel to his Tales of Technofiction series. In this one, The Honeycomb Comet (published by AuthorHouse), mankind encounters a moon-size alien, and over the next three hundred years explores it, pulls off civilization changing treasures, and finally transforms it into mankind's Horse of the Galaxy. As with his other Tales of Technofiction books White presents us with both a good story and good science.

"This is a tale of space exploration, but without warp drive." White says, "Starships take decades to reach their destinations. This makes for an interesting story telling challenge, but the result is something much closer to what real human space travel and colonization will be like. This is the vision of a really possible human future, not space opera. And it is a vision of humans fitting into an alien ecosystem, but once again, not in a typical space opera way."

This is a series of interconnected short stories. In the first we follow as Bull Boromov discovers a long-dead tiny fragment of the moon-size HX. This fragment has civilization changing treasures on it. Says White, "Think of our world without pizza sauce or french fries. This is what Europe would be like today if Columbus had not discovered America and brought back the civilization changing treasures of tomatoes and potatoes." In subsequent stories we watch humanity boom and spread across the solar system and nearby stars. John Tremolo tells of the colonization of Saturn's moon, Titan, and its growth to the third largest collection of humanity in the solar system. And Gian Gauci tells about... ALIEN INVASION! When the aliens do come to earth. Yes, it's White's version of War of the Worlds, but it comes with some updated surprises.

If you like your science fiction with a lot of good science and human social insight in it along with good story telling, this book will be of interest.

Roger Bourke White Jr. served in Vietnam, graduated from MIT in engineering, was a personal computer pioneer, and an English teacher in Korea. He is also the author several books including Wordstar with Style, Tips for Tailoring Spacetime Fabric and Evolution and Thought.
