HORIZONS UNLIMITED

Matter conversion technology—Matt-Con—has broadened the scope of mankind’s existence. It has opened up the real possibility of viable colonies on other planets in our solar system, and even space itself. Anywhere matter can be captured or energy from the sun can be felt, the possibility of expanding human habitation exists.

In this volume:

Quicksilver

The space station Chariot of Helios—on its way to Mercury to become a power collection station for Earth’s growing need for energy to power matt-con tech—encounters a strange anomaly that threatens ship and crew.

Escaping Aurora

The sudden destruction of mankind's first atmospheric terraforming platform leaves three unlucky exonauts struggling to survive in the skies of Venus aboard a cobbled-together airship. Meanwhile, the commander of the space station above battles obstacles that might keep her from rescuing her stranded husband and crew in time.

About the Author

J.D. Beckwith is a mechanical engineer with delusions of writing grandeur. A lifelong fan of science fiction and fantasy, he has recently taken the opportunity to try his hand at the craft he's always admired. When he isn't working on either expanding his bibliography, or finding more efficient ways of manufacturing things -- like bulldozers, excavators, and garbage trucks -- he amuses himself with reading, tabletop & RPG gaming, arguing on the internet, growing tomatoes, and herding cats... all while trying to stay hidden in the woods of Northwest Georgia.

eConscience Beta, is his first independently published novel.

A good "trapped in space" set of stories.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 14, 2021

I love trapped in space novels and shows. Whether it is a serial like Lost in Space, more comical like The Hitch Hiker’s Guide, a more modern twist like Gravity or And Weir’s The Martian and recent Hail Mary. There is something fun about getting to know characters, watching the pressure of their situation mount, and seeing how they respond. Part of good sci-fi is crafting an interesting universe. Beckwith has an interesting spin on beloved sci-fi tropes: What if we can convert matter to energy and vice-versa? This notion sets the world for a fun adventure in Quicksilver, the first story opening up the universe for other tales. As Beckwith’s character reminds us of the Chinese curse, ‘May you live in interesting times.’ While the universe sets the stage, I am happy to report Beckwith’s characters are extremely like us and a the safety of a Sarah’s husband will still boil down to prying a password out of an unwilling crewmember. Overall, these are three easy to read, fun stories with the possibility of more to come.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 6, 2020

The two short stories are an introduction to the characters and a little about the story universe. Quicksilver made me want to read more about the characters. Null Gravitas is not really my cup of tea, but the point of the story was cute. Escaping Aurora, the novella, didn't really grab me at first, but keep reading! By the middle you won't want to put it down! Beckwith does a good job of keeping his characters true to themselves. I didn't always follow the science, but I frequently don't - as long as it's not contradictory I'm good with it. I'm looking forward to more from Beckwith, and hopefully more from the Horizons Unlimited universe!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Such an entertaining read! I always say I'm not a fan of sci-fi, then I read, and enjoy another of J.D.'s stories. :)
