Disc (Vaz) — Narrated Edition
From Laurence E. Dahners comes Disc (Vaz), available as a complete audiobook for Science Fiction & Fantasy listeners.
They want to force them to develop the new technology for the People’s Democratic Republic, so it can forge ahead of its enemies scientifically. By providing them with all the equipment they ask for and then threatening one member of this father-daughter scientific team if the other doesn’t work, they assume they can force the Gettnors to redevelop the thruster technology for the benefit of the People’s Democratic Republic. That assumption is a serious mistake, because Vaz is really good at turning equipment into weapons. Disc picks up right after Vaz and Tiona’s invention of an apparently reactionless drive in Tiona . Tiona and her brother, Dante, want to license the rights to the new thrusters to big aircraft and car companies, using the money from the licenses to develop a private space industry. Vaz, their scientifically sharp but socially inept father, has little interest in such a project but is happy to have them run with it. So they set out to convince doubtful major corporations that thrusters will change the world as we know it. Getting these companies to join the technological revolution requires everything from the massaging of egos to slapping the uncomprehending in the face with the new capabilities. At the same time, they are trying to develop their own space program in the face of some resistance from NASA. Then, just when things seem to be going well, North Korea kidnaps Vaz and Tiona.
Whether you have twenty minutes or a full afternoon, the player below keeps your place as you go.
