Dragon Hands

NewEarth has very little technology as we think of it but there are a number of tools, some familiar to humans others more familiar to dragons. The key differences between their two tool types have more to do with culture and the shape of their hands. Dragons have two thumbs on each hand. That makes…

Gordon’s Barns

I don’t know how familiar you are with barns of different sizes and shapes here on OldEarth, but while they are solid in structure, they lack for a certain type of closure, especially after a few decades of use. In fact on a bright day if you go inside and close the doors, lots of…

Messages and Meaning

Genre

A good friend and loyal reader suggested the genre for the NewEarth Series is the same as Utopia by Sir Thomas Moore who died in 1535. Utopian Literature, shared by many of the science fiction classics, either highlight a dystopian world or a utopian one thereby pointing out the differences with our own. True, although…
