Quantum Vibe
A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly 100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five centuries earlier. Other new technologies have created various off-shoots of humanity and extended life expectancies five-fold. The story begins with how a mad scientist and his plucky assistant, along with their robot friend, brought humanity to the stars, and continues with the adventures of some unique people in fantastic places.
Kickstarter successful and closed [ May 19, 2026 ]
The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.
Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.
(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)
Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!

Caption: Meanwhile, the Sun-Shooter flotilla had managed to arc around and match vectors with Nicole's Helio-Flyer.
Panel 3
In the cockpit, we can see Nicole, looking almost zombie-like with dark circles under bloodshot eyes. She is glancing upward to stage right.
Filtered voice: Hailing Nicole Oresme in the Helio-Flyer! This is Jake Offenberg in Lucky Star, and company.
Jake: How ya holdin' up?
Panel 4
Exterior view, sowing cyber-Nicole, appearing to fly backward, although her head is turned 180 degrees around so she can see where she's going. She glances over her shoulder at a bright light that dominates its part of the star field.
