Concept art for Polaris Station
Dear Engineering Stories readers, some of you have subscribed to this blog since 2012. Thank you for your interest and support. I have enjoyed sharing and expressing my trade, engineering. A few years ago I started a Novel called Polaris Station to explore writing and systems engineering on a major scale. It is partially complete and I’m now ready to start releasing this novel serially, one scene at a time. I’m modeling this process after Andy Weir who wrote The Martian (Also wrote, Project Hail Mary) and released it serially. Like Andy, I’m attempting to be as engineering realistic as possible and I’m asking my readers to provide comments to improve each scene. Specifically, I appreciate suggestions on clarity, flow, dialog, characters and engagement. I especially welcome technical subject matter expert discussion, challenge of assumptions and help improving realism and storytelling. I earnestly invite each of you to read and reply on each scene or chapter. If you plan to participate, please indicate in the comment block below.
The latest revision of each scene and chapter is available on the Menu item labeled, Polaris Station.
Respectfully, Kenneth R. Hardman
