I have had an idea that I would like to follow through.

Basically I want to write a series of sci fi novels. Each unlinked but exploring a different aspect of a fictional galaxy suffering from a threat. That threat seen through many different eyes.

Just a bit of writing in my spare time. Not gonna quit work or anything.

Also wondered if anyone wants to chip in names or characters or ever feel like graphic designs of front covers if they fancy putting something on their cv.

I'd then upload these to kindle and lualu to distribute amongst the e readers, for the minimum price.

Any thoughts?

I'd also be interested in proof readers.

Well I don't have a problem with it.

Short synopsis is that sleeper ship. Depart earth in the prologue for the andomeda galaxy.

Several hundred years later these pioneers are expanding out colonizing the andromeda galaxy. Isolated from earth.

Each book tells the story of a particular aspect of their society.
You will have the navy, merchants, traders, smugglers and pioneers,
Possibly an alien civilisation.

Book one for example would cover either a merchant or a civilian on a fringe world, rumours of the impending threat, and how they deal with it.
Book 2 might be a military novel or political intrigue.

I'm thinking of calling it the andromeda chronicles or something similar.

Nice! It would give you the opportunity to describe an event through the eyes of different members of society...

So they are all in hypersleep and awake for the events that is happening in the books, or is it like Macross Frontier, a fleet of colony ships with an ongoing living society on it?

Are they continuously colonizing the worlds they pass or their mission is to colonize a certain world? Is it like a fleet of ships that break off one by one when they encounter hospitable worlds?

I'm a curious guy... ;)

Well the prologue sets the scene of human advancing into a new world. Settlers, pioneers. Etc.

The story itself sets itself in the style of the old west, there is a form of government and settled world's. Miners, cities, but equall. Backwater worlds, gold rush, and towns built.
The book prope. Commences after they have set the infrastructure of civilisation.

Think of it crudely as Space Cowboys.

But the threat is slowly revealed over the course of the books. A mminor plot development, but not expanded in book 1. But is the threat to them all by the end.

Having not seen either I'm not sure.

Essentially it's the pioneers stories.
