Continuity Book Series : Terragen Global

Sandy Warner writes speculative fiction grounded in real energy technology, economics, and policy — the kind of near-future world building where the science and the numbers have to hold up, not just the story. Continuity is a series about the people and companies quietly building that future today

Continuity is a series about how the future actually gets built — not through breakthroughs that arrive overnight, but through people making patient, sometimes ruthless bets on technology, capital, and each other, years before the payoff is obvious to anyone else.

This first storyline, *Terragen Global*, opens in 2045. A small Alberta company has quietly turned a tar sands operation's two biggest liabilities — extraction and cleanup — into a single, self-funding energy business, using small modular nuclear reactors most of the industry hasn't taken seriously yet. What starts as one company's answer to its own mess becomes something much larger: a bet that patient capital, real engineering, and slow-built trust can outlast the people who only know how to win fast.

It's not a book about explosions. If you're looking for chases and things blowing up, this isn't it — at least not yet. What it is: a close, grounded look at how energy, capital, and influence actually move when the people involved are smart, careful, and playing a much longer game than the reader can see all at once. Think less action thriller, more slow-burn intrigue — the kind where you might find yourself flipping back a chapter to catch something you missed the first time.

Every piece of the technology and economics in this story is real, or built as a plausible, fact-checked extension of something real — the reactors, the fuel cycles, the regulatory chokepoints, the real companies and real policy debates it's grounded in. Nothing here is hand-waved.

I'm posting the first ten chapters now, all at once, because I'd rather you read this the way it's meant to be read — start to finish — than wait on me. If you do: tell me what worked, what didn't, where you got confused, and where you wanted more. That feedback is exactly why this is going up here first.

Thanks for reading.
