SILENT ORDER: psionics or telepathy?
Reader Lope asks concerning my SILENT ORDER science fiction series:
“Is your new series is going to be pure technologist or going to have psionic powers?”
In the five SILENT ORDER books I’ve written, there’s no telepathy or psionic powers.
That said, if I write future SILENT ORDER books I’m not going to limit myself. Some people get persnickety about what constitutes “hard” science fiction, but to be honest I don’t care. If I think a SF concept is cool and that it will work in a book, it doesn’t matter if it’s hard or soft SF, I’m going to run with it.
(Even FROSTBORN had a couple of science fiction-like bits in it.)
So, no telepathy or psionic powers, at least not yet. But as one reader pointed out, there are railguns. Lots and lots of railguns. 🙂
Speaking of that, watch for SILENT ORDER: WRAITH HAND to come out this week!

When you think about it, anything moving 1-2% the speed of light becomes a WMD. Anything moving 8-10% the speed of light that can go through an atmosphere is a planet killer. Actually any explosives on a projectile is pretty pointless past about mach 10, if something’s moving that fast, whatever it hits is going bye bye.
Sorry I was thinking of rail guns and their place in Sci-Fi lore, railguns>proton torpedoes (sad but true).
One of the major characters in SILENT ORDER: WRAITH HAND has figured that out about railguns in a big, big way…
*SPOILERS FOR WRAITH HAND*
Lolz, GEEGEE Mr. AI, Good Game. But uhhhh Great Elder Ones? You sure do like the adjective Great don’t you? I think you’ve used it in every series as a proper noun. Jack March is still a pretty fun guy though. Anyone who has an AI named Vigil should understand the Mass Effect though…(SOMEONE HAD TO SAY IT!!!)
One more thing:
*location 1770* …was getting on the Marine captain’s nerves. “Which so much at stake…”
Think you meant With.
Thanks for catching that!
I did promise Fun With Railguns, did I not? 🙂 The Custodian was fun to write- it was kind of like writing a god with severe OCD, but clever enough to get around it.
