An introspective to Anthology of the Guardians

Anthology of the Guardians is the second series I am working on, with some new entries in it coming up in the new year.  A closer look at the Anthology of the Guardians is below:

Anthology of the Guardians came out because as I was writing Triumvirate, I began to ask many questions, including were the immortals natural, or part of an experiment, if they were an experiment, what events deep in the past brought about their creation?  And what was the galaxy truly like and why in the time frame of Triumvirate does it seem there are only humans in the galaxy and no other life forms?

In one of the early drafts of Triumvirate, the antagonist was originally a mortal, while Savage was one of the last remaining immortals left alive after a purge that saw the death of many of his kind.  But as time moved on in the drafts, I re-examined the story and saw that too many had been like this:  an invasion from an external foe and someone special was there to stop it.  I took it to the next notch and made the antagonist and his closest advisers exiled immortals, and with that, the Anthology of the Guardians series was born. To this date, only short stories and novellas have been written, but some novels are planned once the Triumvirate Chronicles gets off of my plate.

One of the big pushes for new technology of course is war, most of our modern conveniences we have, such as blue ray players, GPS, cellular phones all came from some sort of military research.  So why not make the origin of this particular generation of Guardians be a war, and that they are created to save humanity.  Now where I perhaps move off in a different direction relative to most authors in this "let's create the ultimate beings" to beat back the enemy, I have chosen not only upstanding citizens for the research, but also individuals who happen to be murderers, rapists; basically the dregs of civilization.

It is through the Anthology of the Guardians that the reader gets to explore a galaxy full of many different civilizations and lifeforms.  And it is this story that gives some of the background to some of my characters in the Triumvirate Chronicles, while others are dealt with in an as of unnamed project looking at the Grand Galactic Empire.
