It has the same heroine that is in our debut book: https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimbus_ja_t%C3%A4hdet Every short story has the same main characters visiting an another star and an another world.

Here's some of the local space that I generated from Gliese/Hipparcos dataset some 20 years ago. I'm trying to port our original LightWave starmaps to Blender: https://media.nimbus.fi/tero/nimbus/local_space.png

We should probably write a blog (blag) post about the hurdles of translating from a small (and not so well supported language) to English. Luckily my wife is way better in English than I am.

Me and my wife (then my girlfriend) have written "realistic" space sci-fi in Finnish for over 20 years. Now with AI we are finally able to translate our stories to English. The quality starts to be there.

There are a lot of small languages in the world, and translation used to be extremely expensive. And there is never too much good space sci-fi.

(We don't write space battles or wars. Our style is slower and bit more philosophical. Light speed is the limit, and travel takes centuries.)
