It is the 36th century of the old Terran Calendar and humanity is spread across the stars. For many Earth is an obscure legend. A dead world, only of interest to ancient historians.
The humanity of the future is mainly concerned with galactic warfare with myriads of alien empires, the discovery of ancient mysteries and the taming of the enigmatic warp energy that infuses all things.
In this future is there a space for humanity among the stars and will we be able to fight for it?
The oldest of my readers will all know a little bit about my long love-hate relationship with the Warpmancer Series. Starting out as “The Terra War Saga” and even a standalone called “The Trooper”, what is now called the Warpmancer Saga has gone through many iterations since I first envisioned it as a young, bright-eyed …
There are many aliens who threaten the fringes of human space, and many who live within the confines of humanity’s vast, disunited empire. But no alien empire, even the totalitarian Imperial Council, deserves the title of alien more than the Xank Empire of the Outer Reach. Background The Golden Age of Human Exploration, post-recovery, was …
February 2022 was a deceptively productive month for me, while not seeming like I got much done. While I didn’t write or publish any books, I did get a lot done. This post serves to list what I got up to in February and outline some difficulties that I need to overcome. Part-Time Monster Hunter …
January has been an important month for setting up the relaunch of the Warpmancer Series. I have been gauging interest, talking to other writers, and most importantly, rewriting and editing Fall of Zona Nox. This update serves as touching base for new, old, and unconverted fans of Warpmancer alike. I hope it intrigues and interests …
My writing journey began in 2009 when I began writing a little sci-fi book called Fall of Zona Nox. This little book, written in my free time after school, eventually exploded into a 150k word novel. After substantial rewrites, editing and several sequels – Fall of Zona Nox became the Warpmancer Series, and started my …
2021 has been a hard year on all of us. Rather than being a respite from the events of 2020, in many parts of the world it has just been a continuation of the slow apocalypse. But through thick and thin, the Kat Drummond Series and the Katverse has continued to grow. From a humble …
The Trooper Order’s Military (as distinguished from the Armada, Order-Logistics and Order-Administration) is loosely based off Earth ranks that have been heavily simplified and adjusted. Many administrative roles are no longer needed to be carried out by the likes of Staff Sergeants and Majors, so the Order has cut out these ranks and kept only …
The big baddies of the Warpmancer Universe, like any three-dimensional entity, isn’t some basic evil formed in a vacuum. Like in reality, everyone and everything finds its inspiration and origin in a philosophy. The Imperial Council and their founding races are no different. It is very rare for the villain to think of themselves as …
“The basis of all Trooper power is that of security. The Troopers are not builders. They are not bureaucrats. They are soldiers. And like any enlightened military – they know better than intervening in the affairs of peace.” – High Protector Winston Mengel of Mars. The Trooper Order is not only a military, but also …
The Trooper Order, humanity’s protector and the sovereign government of Mars, is a military organisation founded in 3001 T.C by Colonel Utho von Rothhardt. Since its inception, the Troopers have acted as an army acting on behalf of all mankind. Its sovereign control over Mars, containing the largest human population in space, has allowed it …
