Boundary

The Boundary series is a set of three novels written by the noteworthy authors Eric Flint and Ryk E Spoor. The novels of the series are based on the science fiction genre and are published between the years 2006 and 2013. All the three novels of the series as well as a 4th young adult novel published in 2015 are set in a universe similar to that of the humans. The other three novels of the series serve as the sequels to the first novel, all of which take place in a short time frame 30 years ahead from the present time. The plots of the novels of the series depict the technological advancements that exist widely in the universe. They depict the future settings of the series, especially the ‘fairy dust’ wireless sensor systems that are used by the character A.J. Baker for a number of applications. However, the technology depicted in the novels of the series are not very much advanced as compared to the technology present in our universe today. The authors Ryk E Spoor and Eric Flint have tried to avoid a few political land-mines while writing the plots of the novels of the series in order to portray that the world is not as bad as it appears in today’s world. They have tried to depict the world as a normal place with the politics and the people, who follow the similar basic paths that they have been following till now. The authors have written the Boundary trilogy as an attempt to describe a generally realistic and positive view of a human future that is possible. They have tried to tell the readers that the people in the future universe are still humans, but their sense of exploration and wonder helps them to match their wits with the unreliable and uncaring universe and emerge out of it as leaders in the long run. Authors Eric Flint and Ryk E Spoor have not tried to show the conflict between the humans, but between the humans and the universe, as they believe that the universe is a dangerous deep space.
