Space Pickle

WELCOME TO THE RETROFUTURE!

The Future That Never Was is a book series project featuring an alternate space age where the Soviets colonized the belt before David Bowie sang Life on Mars; where rogue AIs took over the web; where pizza came in cans. Humankind couldn’t dream of a more exciting future. Yet, as foolishness eventually turned Earth into a nuclear wasteland, shadows began to conspire from the heart of the Moon to beyond the mysterious Planet Nine…

This extended universe in progress includes numerous R-rated titles. All of them will be uploaded on Royal Road for free. Check the Index or the list/links below for the main stories.

🐈 KITTY KITTY - Completed - <READ>

Join sassy space cat Lee and his Desert Eagle-toting, soda-swigging human partner, Ali, in a future stuck in the late 80s/early 90s. Board the dynamic duo’s ship, the mythical Kitty, as they bounty-hunt their way through a dystopian solar system—so lock and load, and shout Cowabunga! because it’s crime-fightin’ time!

🪐 PACHINKO BLUES - <START READING>

Amid the chaos of the Rings Civil War, a disgraced pilot finds himself tangled in a vast vendetta involving a megacorporation, android mercenaries and data-cartels. From Saturn’s Plastic Fields to the fringes of Kuiper, his violent redemption is an 80s-esthetic space western filled with tears, blood and... ducks?

Hans Flemmens woke up in a world like Earth, yet it was not quite the same. The language and the people were the same, but their history differed. He got used to it, graduated, found a job, and began living like any other normal person.
Then came a sudden meteor shower, crashing down and spreading a strange virus that turned most of humanity into the walking dead. When Hans opened his eyes again, the world was gone. Countless cities drowned in silence, streets crawling with millions to billions of zombies.
Just as he thought it was over, a familiar sound echoed in his head.

Pain and loss make us better and stronger people. This is the story of a superhero who started from a broken home and found more. When your powers came from a notorious super villain, does that fact define your future? Who you are?

Disclaimers: Arc 3 - An Ill Wind through current are loosely edited by myself. Arc 1 - The Dream - Arc 2 - Second Flight are highly edited.

My co-writer isn't with us anymore. I've converted this story into a serialized novel series. I don't consider this to be just any novel, since it has personal and sentimental value. Everything from The Dream to Saucery was co-written by Sureia (Khaizard), my late fiancee'. Let's see where the story goes beyond from arc 6 through 9, where it will end.

Alas, Babylon

★ 4.09

Pat Frank

“An extraordinary real picture of human beings numbed by catastrophe but still driven by the unconquerable determination of living creatures to keep on being alive.” — The New Yorker The classic apocalyptic novel by Pat Frank, first published in 1959 at the height of the Cold War, with an introduction by award-winning science fiction writer and scientist David Brin. “Alas, Babylon.” Those fateful words heralded the end. When the unthinkable nightmare of nuclear holocaust ravaged the United States, it was instant death for tens of millions of people; for survivors, it was a nightmare of hunger, sickness, and brutality. Overnight, a thousand years of civilization were stripped away. But for one small Florida town, miraculously spared against all the odds, the struggle was only just beginning, as the isolated survivors—men and women of all ages and races—found the courage to come together and confront the harrowing darkness.
