Welcome to the new Daniel Gibbs website!

by Rockstar

Greetings readers! Welcome to the new and improved Daniel Gibbs author website. I’m very excited for all of you to explore and experience some of the world-building I’ve done over the last few years. While there’s listings for all of my books and signup for my newsletter, the real beauty of this new site is the deep dive into the shared universe of Echoes of War and Breach of Peace.

You can now view a timeline of events from 2035 to 2433 (LINK HERE).

There’s an in-depth encyclopedia (LINK HERE). This encyclopedia, over time, will grow to include every major and minor character, planets, political entities including alien empires, ships, and technology. In short, everything you could ever want to know about the universe of Echoes of War!You can even look at detailed, high resolution renders and additional information of the Lion of Judah (LINK HERE) and the Yitzhak Rabin (LINK HERE). There’s even some interior renders and concept art.

Finally, a star map of the area of space in which the novels occur.

Enjoy!

Book Seven – Finish the Fight – released!

by Rockstar

Just writing the title of this blog was awe-inspiring, and very humbling to me. The phrase that has come to mind repeatedly this week as I finished the final editing and building up of the ebook, was this: “What hath God wrought.”

Aside from being the first telegraph message sent by Samuel Morse, it sums up the feelings going through as I finish this first chapter in the story of David Cohen.

Book 7 – Finish the Fight

I’ve gotten more than a few emails asking if Finish the Fight marks the last time we’ll see David in print – the answer is no! Unequivocally no. But, sometimes, it’s important to set something you love aside for a while to ensure it doesn’t get stale.

My idea notebook is filled with additional novels about David and his compatriots on the Lion of Judah, and they’ll be written in 2021.

In the meanwhile, I’m working on a third series I plan to unveil in the next few months that will take us back to the year 2433, and shine a spotlight on a character already known to the universe.

Enjoy reading Finish the Fight, and thank you all for supporting my work.

Hunter Missiles

ClassMissile
Rangeclassified
Warheadclassified

These sophisticated missiles are the pride of the Coalition. Capable of anti-starship and anti-ground combat, the Hunters are fire-and-forget weapons with highly sophisticated computerization, sensors, and AI.

After a priority list is downloaded into the missile immediately prior to launch, it travels on its own, avoiding enemy point-defense and locking on to the best target available by priority. The computers factor in everything from enemy velocity to the intensity of enemy point-defense fire and range to determine the best target.

Attempts by the League to deploy Hunters have noticeably failed. The Matrinads, however, are very close to finishing their own version

Liberal Party

ClassPolitical Party

The Liberal Party is descended from the party of the same name in Australia of the 20th and 21st Centuries, though it has now expanded to widespread popularity in the Anglo-American and European communities, having merged over the years with the Americans’ Republican Party and the Tories of Britain (it is called the Liberal-Conservative Party in British territories to contrast with the Christian-Conservatives). Though they favor many conservative views on ideal society and economy, the Liberals primarily differ from other conservative groups by their belief that it is wrong to use government power to try to coerce or otherwise influence the citizenry to follow morals of a sort.

The Liberals are one of the Coalition’s most powerful parties, usually the centerpiece party to most of the right-centrist coalition groups that have controlled the Coalition government over the years. On several occasions they alone had a majority in the Senate and they are typically among the top three parties in the Assembly.

The capital world of the Terran Coalition and the first planet settled by the Exodus. Its capital is Lawrence City. Canaan has six continents, two roughly the size of Asia on Old Earth (New Asia and New Columbia) and four smaller continents (New Africa, New Europe, New Australia, and New India).

Among its major metropolitan areas are New Tel Aviv, New Gaza, and New London. Canaan is the home of the Holy Catholic Church, which located its New Vatican in the city of New Rome on the New Australia continent. Estimated population in the 2460 census was 4.6 billion people.
