With work on the TECHNOPREY project underway an opportunity arose to work with Daniel B. Hunt, one of Dryden's principal creative writers and an author in his own right. Inspired from Dan's initial draft of short stories I created a couple of illustrations which would go on to serve as cover art and interior illustration respectively for his novel ORIGINS, published through iUniverse.

The first, entitled DARK COMPANIONS, depicts two planets orbiting one another within their local red dwarf star system. The second image, THRESHOLD, depicts the space dive of Sergeant Sayer Kade to the Terra Corps asteroid mining facility.
