The Science behind Arsenal
Believe it or not (and based on some reviews I've had - not) there is actual science behind a lot of what Arsenal does.
Like most sci-fi though, there are a few items that are only theoretical that make the whole thing possible.
For me, science-fiction is about imagining the impossible and then trying to figure out how to get there. In the first book Arsenal had one huge limitation, power. That was overcome with her Zero Point Field Modul. I'm not the first person to come up with Zero-Point energy. ZED-PM's were used to awesome effect in Stargate SG-1 and her spinoffs. The quantum mechanics behind it is all very theoretical, but awesome all the same.
The next limitation was Epic communicating with the suit. If he were jammed or an EMP blanketed the area she wouldn't be able to operate the suit well. I solved this in Unstoppable with the advent of 'computronium'. Something that is much closer to reality than the ZPFM.
The last bit of theoretical science is her EMdrive. Theoretical only in the sense that we don't know how it works, we just know it does. Really, Google it, the dang thing breaks the laws of physics.
For the most part, everything else in her suit is real. IP cannons, particle beams, her sword, even the way the suit is made, all of it exists I just amped it to the nth degree.
With one exception, of course. The kinetic manipulators are pure fiction. I wish such a tech existed but it doesn't. Anything she uses based on the manipulators is made up. However, it isn't science-fact, it is SCIENCE-FICTION!!!!
I love talking about this stuff, feel free to drop me a line here, or on Facebook (as some of you know I am on Facebook entirely too much). Also, if you have any cool tech ideas for her Mark II, let me know!
Arsenal and Unstoppable Arsenal are available now on Amazon.com for sale and in Kindle Unlimited.
