In his 2024 science fiction space opera novel Interstellar Medic: The Long Run, author Patrick Chiles introduced us to a nice young lady who works as an EMT…in space.
Now, with Interstellar Medic: The Long Way Home (paperback, Kindle), Chiles is bringing that nice young lady back home.
In the following email interview, Chiles discusses what inspired and influenced this second installment, as well as how it may not be the last we see of that nice young lady…
Maybe it’s because I’ve been watching a lot of that show 9-1-1 lately, but I find myself appreciating EMTs even more than usual…and I’ve always appreciated them a lot.
It’s also why I’m excited for Patrick Chile’s medicinal science fiction space opera novel Interstellar Medic: The Long Run (paperback, Kindle, audiobook), in which an EMT becomes an E.T. EMT.
In the following email interview, Chiles discusses what gave him the idea for this story, as well as his plans for a companion novel…and maybe more.
Okay, stay with me. With Escape Orbit (paperback, Kindle), writer Patrick Chiles is presenting the sequel to his 2020 sci-fi novel Frozen Orbit. But he’s also presenting the second installment of a trilogy, which is also the sixth book in a series that started with 2012’s Perigee, then continued with 2015’s Farside and 2022 sci-fi technothriller Frontier…except that the Orbit trilogy are only loosely connected to those other books, and are more straight sci-fi. But don’t worry, in the following email interview about Escape Orbit, we talk about his dogs.
For Frontier (paperback, Kindle), the fourth book in his loosely connected sci-fi series, writer Patrick Chiles is giving us the hero we all need: a bored guy who wishes his job was more exciting…until it is. In the following email interview, Chiles talks about what inspired and influenced this military sci-fi technothriller, and how it connects to his previous novels.
Space…the final frontier. But what if it’s like the frontier that became the United States, one that had already been discovered by the time we got there. This is the premise behind Patrick Chiles’ hard sci-fi space exploration novel Frozen Orbit, which has just been released in mass market paperback (and is also available as a trade paperback and on Kindle). In the following email interview, Chiles discusses what originally inspired and influenced this story.
