> *I aten't dead. T*he next chapter should be up in a week (not in four months). This follows on from the events of [Chapter Fourteen](https://ascentuniverse.wordpress.com/2018/03/26/chapter-fourteen-convergence/). We get to learn some interesting things about [Acausal trade](https://agentfoundations.org/item?id=1465) and the importance of keeping the faith.

>>> Well, so did I for a little while; I had a degree to finish! I'm curious - what did you think of this as a way of resolving Chapter 14's cliffhanger?

>> That looks very interesting - the list of 'inspirations' for that webcomic are almost identical to the ones I would have written; Baxter, Reynolds, Banks etc.
|
|
>> What elements did you see as being common between them?

>>>> For Stephen Baxter I would start with Proxima - its a standalone near-future novel and less insanely expansive than the Xeelee books. As for Iain Banks - the Player of Games out of the Culture books is the shortest, most self-contained and possibly the best. With Alastair Reynolds the Revelation Space series is still his best - just start at the beginning with Revelation Space.
