How do circumstances alter decisions or lives? In the prior volume, The Would-be Lives of Adam Back, we saw Adam, his decisions and his life under two sets of broadly different conditions. In the first, status quo, Adam was the man he was born and raised to be. He turned out as he was always going to, given the individual he was. In the second, after governmental upheaval and subsequent war, Adam had to adapt or perish. A nascent individual emerged, one he, himself, likely did not know lay dormant. He forged a life for himself and his family appropriate to the new state of affairs. Which was the real, the actual, Adam Back?
Now it's four years later. Adam recedes into the background. His oldest and youngest take up the tale - the tale of the Back family. How did their father's decisions influence his children's psyches and mindsets? How did they develop? Which had the greater impact - Adam's choices or the world his kids found themselves in? Are the two linked?
The Offspring of Adam Back continues Adam's tale through the eyes of his progeny. It's told in two halves - as things would have been and as they actually were. The children, too, have had to adapt, not only to the world around them, but to whichever father they found themselves with. How would you and yours have turned out?
My stuff tends toward societal commentary, presented via normal people who find themselves in unexpected, offbeat, or abnormal circumstances circumstances replete with threatened or actual upheaval. The choices these folks make move the action forward and expose brokenness in the culture and in the actors themselves.
I'm also a huge Tolkien fan and have written volume one of a loosely-planned five-book set: The Recitation of Ooon. Though in the same genre as Lord the Rings, Ooon is definitely not Middle Earth, and there are no Hobbits. Just people trying to find their way while engulfed in a magical upheaval driven by a clash between followers of the ancient ways and those seeking a new, less-fettered life. The narrator is a thousand-year-old man, trying to see forward, while looking back, as his existence comes to a pre-destined end.
And I have devoured everything Theodore Sturgeon and quite a bit of old school SF. Though I have yet to draft anything within this genre, ideas continually percolate.
