THRESHOLD

Terrified of being sealed in a tin can of a spaceship, he vows to change space travel forever.

Rai’s life is all about travelling beyond the Solar System. But when he’s trapped in his own Faraday cage, he’s overwhelmed by fear. All his hopes and dreams are shattered. In a burst of determination, he sets himself to outthink his claustrophobia. He will create a new phenomenon to take him to the stars without a spaceship. His tests on matter transfer are soon promising. Now, all he has to do is start testing it on the living.

Who will be first over the threshold and will they survive?

Threshold is a short novella in Tech Array, an optimistic near-future sci-fi series of short fiction. If you like sci-fi with heart and everyday heroes, this 88 page inventor story is for you. These standalone stories feature different characters from Helena Trooperman’s Age of Unity, set in the Firmament.
