Tales of the Drive, Page 1
🕑 Added 2023-08-29 15:30:01 +0000 UTCI have something I'm really excited to share with you today. My friend Dave Kellett asked me to write a story for his sci-fi series Drive. Tales of the Drive is a series of stories set in the Drive universe, and I'm thrilled to be among the incredible people who have been asked to participate.
Better yet, the inimitable Danielle Corsetto (Girls with Slingshots, Elephant Town) has agreed to draw the comic I wrote. And she has done an exquisite job. You're going to adore it.
And, best of all, Dave has agreed to let me share the first several pages with my Patreon backers! You can see all of the Tales stories on his Patreon, and the ending of this story will be uploaded there as well, when the time comes.
Until then, you're going to get treated to a new TotD page every Tuesday for the next several weeks!
The story...
Dave's sci-fi epic Drive has been chock full of brilliant sci-fi writing, sharply written humor, and nail-biting intrigue. The only thing it really lacked was, well... romance. Nobody ever smooches in Drive!
I decided to put an end to that.
Now... before you get worried... this will not be Drive After Dark. But it is going to have all of the hallmarks I try to put into my work — warmth, joy, humor, and a sense of playfulness.
The story centers around Captain Taneel. From the Drive guide for new readers:
ONCE CAPTAIN OF A MASSIVE ARMADA BATTLECRUISER, TANEEL NOW FINDS HERSELF CAPTAIN OF THE TINY SCOUT SHIP MACHITO, AND ANSWERING TO AN EMPEROR SHE HATES. NOT THE BEST CAPSTONE TO A STELLAR CAREER.

"Captain Taneel?" You go sit in the corner and think about what you did, young man. Or I guess tell Dave to do so.
