Lightship Chronicles is a young adult adventure set on a mysterious world. Carpatia is a harsh desert land, but one with spectacular vistas and populated by two very different yet resilient people, the Carpati and the Bitani. Both believe in competing myths of their history. Myths of great ancient battles fought over by a clan of mysterious Sacred Warriors against magical Light-Fairies. Under the glowing warmth of their red-giant sun, it's easy for the Carpati to believe in their beautiful myths. They spend most of their long 36 hour days living a simple farming lifestyle in the Township built on the lower slopes of the mighty Table Mountain. The Bitani meanwhile rule over the Carpati from their futuristic city atop the massive pillar-like tabletop of a mountain, and have a very different, and quite mysterious perspective.

For the Carpati the only respite from the drudgery of their simple days are the monthly lightship races. The hovering lightships speed at more than 700kph over a 600km course that runs up the sides of mesas, through the canyons of the Crags, over the 10m waves of the Great Salt sea, over the Long Straight, the Dunes, and through the Eastern Hills and its many giant Baobab threes. It's a spectacular race unlike anything else and the favorite pastime of Andee and his little brother Mykee. Both dream of being lightship pilots while watching the race from their favorite hangout, the 1000m high Outcrop overlooking The Crags.

Lightship Chronicles is a thrilling science fiction series set in an exotic otherworld location. It is a character driven story with young adult themes of romance, sexual growth and exploration, justice, right vs. wrong, and dealing with overwhelming challenges that life throws at us both physically and psychologically, all within the realm of having to deal with mysterious and powerful enemies. The characters are smart, strong, and confront their challenges in unique style and with a sense of humor. The story itself is very complex and in the early stages of a much greater universe to follow.

So start reading now and grow with the story. It is filled with unique concept and ideas that you have not come across in any other science fiction story. I'm writing it chapter by chapter, LIVE, meaning I will post each chapter as I finish writing it. The chapters are long, so they each read like an individual short story, with each leading into the next one. I envision this series to be like a TV show, each chapter an episode of a continuous longer story that will grow and evolve over time to become a massive epic; and it is all FREE at the LightshipChronicles website. So check it out and join me on the adventure. I'm looking forward to your comments
