Greetings promising readers. Thanks for being here. Today I will spell out the history that leads to my novel “The Gavaskar Field” which takes place in the year 2411.
Year 2028 - First superstorm hits Florida and the Carolinas. Most of Florida beyond salvage.
Year 2039 - Superstorm “Devin” hist West Coast of North America. Coast line from LA to Vancouver wiped out. Refugees from west flood the eastern states. Rioting soon follows.
2042 - The Second American Revolution. Refugee riots bring on Marshal law and US government falls.
2043 - US re-established under the “Constitution of the New Millenium” with charismatic leader.
2047 - Large earthquake toppled much of San Francisco into the ocean. Few people there to notice.
2083 - World population down to lowest level since the 1700’s. Also the year of “The Great Computer Crash of 83”.
2094 - Eccentric billionaire industrialist Marcus Johnson launches spaceship the “Arc of the Millenium” with two thousand followers in cryo sleep. They go on to settle planet Harappa.
2099 - As the struggling human race rejoices at the end of the Twenty-first Century designs for the hydro-cyclon motor are discovered in writings from Marcus Johnson. The new device draws energy from conversion of oxogen and hydrogen into waster and back into gasses. With this clean and nearly limitless energy the environment is restored.
2141 - 2184 - New Green religion grows based on the Green Bible, a text attributed to Marcus Johnson (this later questioned when Earth and Harappa re-met).

2371 - Debendra Gavaskar discovers a way to travel faster than light.
2390 - Melanie Gavaskar born.
2391 - Earth Ship “Debendra Gavaskar” discovers Marcus Johnson’s colony on planet Smoot-28-4027-3 which the locals call Harappa.
