Background and FAQ
Introduction
I wrote this small work to provide background information on the Star Spawn universe, as well has provide the rationale I used in creating the fictional universe.
In a way, a person may consider this the “hint book” to the stories. What you will read here will not necessarily be a “spoiler” to reading the stories for the first time, but it will provide answers to questions that I anticipate will arise from time to time.
The material is organized into several sections, some of which take the form of glossaries and charts, while the rest takes the form of an FAQ (frequently asked questions). It isn’t that these questions have been raised before (some haven’t), but I strongly expect to see them raised at some time in the future.
Note: This is still a work in progress.
FAQ
Because the stories are not published, I have pulled a previously-prepared FAQ in favor of waiting for the questions to be asked.
The Saga
I need to provide some background on the saga itself. It is, in essence two stories.
One follows Jules Ann Stollack (SPOILER) as she dies and is "restored" by the "Eternals." The restored Julie has all the abilities of the Star Spawn David and Spawn. The restoration is really her creation as a future goddess, just as David indicated that he might be seen at some future time as a god. The stories involving Julie are her "coming of age" story.
The other story follows James Matthews who appears as a sleazy astrophysicist in the first story. It is about his rebirth, if you will (SPOILER) and the revelation of his true place in the Alliance, followed by his forced exile on Cleric One, wherein he learns his true position in the present existence.
Both of these stories grew out of the stories as I wrote them. I did not plan them that way.
