  • Hyperspeed
    William Grovère
    Hyperspeed offers a glimpse into the world as it might exist in the year 2076. It is futuristic, but not science fiction. The scenarios are plausible based on a logical extension of modern technological developments, where intercontinental travel is carried out in evacuated tunnels, called portals, that permit supersonic global travel, such as Paris to Shanghai in just three an...

  • La Charlière
    William Grovère
    La Charlière was originally published in 2019 and revised in this 2025 version. The story takes place in 2084, twenty years after the discoveries by Cédric Rothschild, based on his theory of variable light speed, which had led to the invention of microfusion reactors and timecharging, enabling a host of new transportation technologies. La Charlière is a prototype dirigible desi...

  • Sea Change
    William Grovère
    In the past, technology advances have led to major changes in ship propulsion and deployment. In the 19th century, sail gave way to steam engines. In the 20th century steam gave way to diesel engines, and in the 21st century diesel gave way to microfusion reactors. Nowhere is the introduction of new technologies more pronounced than in naval combatants. The cover painting depic...

  • Cédric
    William Grovère
    Cédric J. Rothschild was introduced in two previous novels, The Timecharger and La Charlière through second-hand accounts after Cédric’s death. This book, Cédric, goes back in time to tell the life story of this remarkable scientist, discoverer, and inventor from the beginning. His hypothesis that the speed of light slows down in the vicinity of massive objects led to the disco...

  • The Timecharger
    William Grovère
    In the 2060’s, a scientist at a French laboratory, named Cédric Rothschild, discovers how to fabricate miniature black holes by assembling neutrons into clusters. These supermassive objects have the property of modifying the speed of light in nuclear reactions, enabling a new type of ship propulsion called microfusion reactors. The discovery transforms maritime technology, and ...
