Self-constructing robotic bases like SCARAB are the cutting edge in deep-space colonization technology in Tantalus Depths. The idea of a robot that is capable of building itself out of the resources it encounters may seem far-fetched, but did you know scientists today see this as a very real possibility? They’re called Von Neumann Probes, and they’re even more outlandish in reality than they are in Tantalus Depths.
Watch this video with Dr. Michio Kaku, and learn how a robotic spaceship the size of a needle could help humanity conquer the galaxy.
If the idea of a machine that builds itself is interesting to you, or the potentially disastrous results of giving a machine too much power over its own environment, please consider pre-ordering a copy of Tantalus Depths now. It explores this theme and many, many others.
I’ll take a break from the self-promotion for a second here.
Please consider throwing some support in the direction of James Rasile for a bit. His novel "Cape’s Side Bay" looks like a fantastic thriller with some of my very favorite elements to it. It’s currently only 8 pre-orders away from reaching Quill goal, and I’d love to lend him some support in pushing it over the edge.
Check it out here, and see if it’s something you’d like to support.
Don’t forget, if you use inkshares referral feature when sharing it on facebook, twitter, email, or on inkshares and someone ends up buying a copy from your referral, you get $10 of inkshares credit? You can use that free credit to support any number of other authors on inkshares.
Or you can use it to buy a second copy of Tantalus Depths. You know, whichever.

The campaign for Tantalus Depths is alive and well. I’ve allowed myself exactly one day to recuperate after the hectic last days of Geek and Sundry’s hard science fiction competition, but now we are back at it with a passion. Check out this new teaser promo video, and consider sharing it on your social media channels to help bring attention to the book.
By the way, SCARAB can build virtually anything you could possibly ask it, however it cannot synthesize organic matter. It can’t make you a cake, it can’t make you a pony, and it can’t make me 750 supporters. That’s why I need you!
Tantalus Depths is moving ahead right on schedule for funding, but I’ve almost exhausted my personal contacts, so I’m in need of community support more than ever. If you’re at all interested in this project, please, please order a copy of the ebook. Tell your friends in person, ask for their support in this project as well. I promise you, this story is well worth reading.
In case you were thinking the likes and shares don’t help, take a look at this graph. 34 people have pre-ordered copies of Tantalus Depths after being referred by you. 34 out of 183 orders. That’s huge. Please don’t stop sharing the posts, or talking to friends about this book: it’s literally only possible to reach our goals with your help.
