The Force of Destiny

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The Force of Destiny has an interesting history… Its author Dale Kemper wrote the original manuscript in the late 1980’s inspired at least in part by his experiences editing Far Traveller magazine for FASA. He had discussions with Game Designers’ Workshop about it being published by GDW as a Traveller novel, but they folded before there was any formal submission.
Dale sold copies of the manuscript on Ebay from time to time. Paul Sanders of Cargonaut Press bought a copy and offered to publish it, agreeing to supply Dale with 200 copies of the book in payment. The 200 copies of the book were never forthcoming (“lost in the mail” according to Sanders) transforming the Cargonaut Press edition into an unauthorized pirate edition.
A legitimate edition (authorized by the author and with its Traveller content licensed through Far Future Enterprises) was published in hardcopy by Hamster Press in 2003, and copies are routinely available through the author on Ebay.

An excellent adventure that does not require that you be a Traveller fan to understand. Good gritty starship battles. Few minor format or typo errors, but not enough to distract from the overall quality of the product. Recommended to ANY science-fictio [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
