BATTLESTAR GALACTICA:

the Miniseries

My newest book currently in print is a major change of pace for me. If you're a fan of the SciFi Channel's hit series, Battlestar Galactica, don't miss my novelization of the miniseries that kicked the whole thing off! It's a rousing good story, and it's available now.

Check out New and Forthcoming for more information.

Cows!

Moooo. I contributed a brief essay to a lovely collection of cows photos by Carl Hileman, called Cows: a Rumination.


Beat the Blues!

Another unexpected place I've turned up in is 100 Ways to Beat the Blues, by country singer Tanya Tucker.

Short Story
 
Inspired by the Ansari X Prize competition, my story "Rocket Ride! A Short Day's Journey into Space" first appeared in the Sunday travel section of the Boston Herald, and later in the Dallas Morning News.

An excerpt from
The Chaos Chronicles . . .
"The cavern was cold, even in the slow energy flux of the translator's alien mechanisms. The quarx did not feel the near-absolute-zero cold, but was aware of it, as it awakened to the silence of a still world. Its first impression was not of place but of time, vast corridors of time through which it had floated in an almost coffinlike existence.

"What did millions of years mean when one was asleep, when one's life process was held like a cup of electrons in the hands of an angel?"


So begins NEPTUNE CROSSING, a novel for hard SF readers and character readers alike--the opening volume of The Chaos Chronicles and a good place to start if you're new to my work. Try this book if you like science fiction with quirky aliens and humans blended with chaos theory, cosmic extrapolations, and a healthy sense of wonder.

The tale continues in STRANGE ATTRACTORS, in a venue far beyond the reaches of the galaxy. Then with Volume 3, the story moves beneath the waves of an alien world, in THE INFINITE SEA. (For information and excerpts click on any title.)

"Jeff Carver is a hard sf writer who gets it right." --Gregory Benford

"Masterfully captures the joy of exploration...." --Publishers Weekly

"Reveals an alien encounter brushing hard against a soul,
and takes us from there to the far reaches of the cosmos, all with
the sure touch of a writer who knows his science." --David Brin
