in Political Science from UCLA in 1968 and got his Master of Fine Arts degree from University of California, Los Angeles in 1969. He was born in New York City but was raised mainly in California. Star Wars A New Hope: The LIfe of Luke SkywalkerĪlan Dean Foster is an American author of fantasy and science fiction novels, who has to his credit a long list of hit novels. The book Marrow takes place over the course of about 5,000 years.Star Wars Episode #04: A New Hope Novelization Oh, and since you like lengthy time scales: Most of the main characters are over 100,000 years old. The aliens have to pay them enormous prices, usually with technology, information, or colonization rights.īecause of this situation, humans have rapidly gained many new technologies, expanded their space and influence, and become famous among the other species, even though many feel that their success is purely dumb luck. The humans ruling the ship decided to turn it into a sort of galactic cruise ship, taking a journey around the galaxy and allowing billions of aliens to become passengers or permanent residents in the ship's cities, caverns, and oceans. Humans were the first to notice the ship and the first to board it, making it theirs according to galactic traditions. It had apparently been drifting, empty and abandoned, for billions of years. Some time later, an ancient, massive ship (about the size of Jupiter) was discovered on the fringe of the galaxy.

Among other things, this gave them immortality and a powerful material called "hyperfiber", which is extremely useful for space flight. Humans are one of the newer spacefaring species, having gained a wealth of technology by intercepting a signal broadcast by another alien civilization.

Robert Reed's Great Ship series sounds right up your alley! That's the other thing I should mention, I love lengthy timescales, another reason I'm a fan of what happened to Earth in the movies "The Time Machine". unless we of course come back and haunt the galaxy once again in the distant future :). Or just a book where humanity is not always the destroyed and then left to rot on our single planet(s). Star Trek would apply here as well, but focused on the progress (along with the exploration) of civilization specifically.Īny other books out there that not only show humanity progressing (not always positively mind you) and meeting other races, where they either take over in some way, hopefully more positively contribute to something intergalactic? I've recently been in the mood for a good sci-fi novel on this theme as well, much like Alan Dean Foster's "The Damned" trilogy. I wrote my Our Cosmic Story book on this theme (non-fiction): I'm a huge fan of the progress of civilization and how we can become a better species and expand into the Universe, hopefully working with and impressing other species along the way.
