Frames

<p><em>Frames</em> is a simple sci-fi story with fictional physics silly math donnish puns and characters who march along to their fates with the inevitability of a Bach fugue.</p><p><em>Frames</em> is not fantasy; it's not space opera; there's no magic no superheros no politics - just geeks who love their work love each other do what's next and save the world - twice.</p><p>There are some complications: a fully deterministic 4d+t universe with an allowable form of time travel; aliens who want all of us dead; two different FTL drives that turn out to be the same; and that most fictional of all things imaginable: competent Space Force commanders in the right place at the right time.</p><p><em>Frames</em> in the words of a long dead 60s hippie is messed up man but if you know some math (and maybe some physics) it might make sense; if you've been in grad school it might make sense; and if you've served? umm well umm: it's fiction okay?</p><p> </p><p>(About 65K words)</p>
