Introducing Ian

AIN, Books, Ian Walker, NaNoWriMo, Sci-Fi

Ian is the main character in AIN, our sometimes reluctant hero. More than almost anything else, he wants to live a life of peace and safety, no longer having to worry about losing his life or those of his friends. For a while, he thinks he’s found it, until the scout party he’s on is horribly slaughtered, leaving him as the only survivor. Looking for shelter, he unconsciously returns to the same building he took refuge in as a child, years ago… and once again hears the same female voice.

This time, Ain asks for his help. She has a plan to restore the world to a greener state, but she can’t do it alone. And as much as he wants to return home, to say no would be to let her die. Though it could cost him his life in more ways than one, he agrees.

The next two decades of Ian’s life will be spent travelling across the island once known as Great Britain, searching out lost technology and the tools to craft it, finding allies and enemies in the unlikeliest places, until at last the day comes when everything he and Ain have risked so much for is on the line…

It seems it’s been so long since I had the focus to spare to write here that I actually failed to update all NaNo! You guys know what this means, right? It means I get to talk about something new!

I had a plan for November, I really, really did. I was going to write about Dayna Kingsley of the Solar Police, and how she ends up in the future, and what happened to the crew of the derelict spaceship (spoiler: they were not eaten by aliens), and who that weird species with guns are and what they want, and why she seemed to be cured but is getting sicker by the day, and how she’s going to get a misfit bunch of survivors like herself to safety before they all quite possibly die. It was good, it made sense, it had its own little spot in my 4,000-year Federation timeline…

And then I had this dream.

You may have gathered, if you’re one of the poor souls who’ve followed this on-again-off-again blog for some time, that that happens a lot. (And also that I have really coherent, film-like dreams that I always thought were normal but which most of my friends assure me are anything but.) It was involved, and vivid, and impressive, and really emotionally charged in places, and I debated with myself for a bit and lost. So I ended up writing that for NaNo instead. In following entries (ones that aren’t about Lindsi), I’ll explain some more…
