Some Other Novels
Core imagines the sudden collapse of Earth’s magnetic field. Disruptive power failures, blackout communications, and solar radiation threatens death by the thousands.
Physicist Marta McDougal and geologist Leiden Hudder lead an international project to reset the magnetic field by drilling through the planet’s mantle and into the outer liquid core.
(By the way, no human enters the mantle, nor could they; my novel appeared well before “The” Core film and its absurdities
—that film has been accurately named “the worst science fiction movie ever made.”)
The original Core print and ebooks are available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop.org and other sources.
Re-entry follows biologist Phil Holder to the planet Darwin, where entire continents have been terraformed to imagine the prehistoric Earth, complete with megafauna. Wormholes access the multiverse and can be used for time travel. Holder arranges to arrive in Darwin before his earlier self grew up; he intends to become his own tutor and prevent himself—in that universe, at least—from becoming the self he despises.
“Swift and ingenious.” — Theodore Sturgeon
The Gates of Heaven describes a similar wormhole, this time one that leaves a spaceship stranded on an Earthlike planet orbiting Tau Ceti. Laura McCord commands the ship sent to rescue the survivors. Turns out they don’t want to be rescued. For McCord’s crew, getting out is hard to do.
“Preuss never slackens his pace from this amazing beginning to the very last page of his solid SF adventure.” — In Print
“Very well done…. I had thought some time ago that double black holes were the coming science fiction convention.” — Carl Sagan
Re-entry and The Gates of Heaven can be found from vendors like AbeBooks, but I’ve deliberately reclaimed the originals, hoping one day to improve those first efforts .
