‘THE GENESIS ENGINE’ SKETCH BOOK

The initial sketchbook for “The Genesis Engine” took up over 50 pages, and covered everything from ship design, to research to plot notes. I haven’t uploaded all of it here, as often there are spoilers for the John Risk series, but thought you’d be interested to see as much as I can share right now 🚀

SPOILER WARNING! THIS EXPLAINS THE PLOT OF “THE GENESIS ENGINE” READ WITH CARE!
