A Rising Tide
I fully believe that a rising tide raises all boats. I also know that many believe taking from others is the only way to thrive. A civilization that wishes to harness the tide must hold the takers in check, or it will lose the tide altogether. My Jack of Harts stories tell of a civilization that managed to keep the takers in check. That created a world even we have trouble dreaming of, filled with effectively limitless energy and food, and fantastic towers and starships that proclaim the might of mankind. But the takers still exist, which is why there continues to be conflict for me to write stories about. Jack’s mission is to unknowingly follow the path his family has done for generations. He protects the tide and the civilization it has helped build from anyone who would seek to take it by force.
