2299 Formula X Guidebook

By Simon Coates

Welcome to the fastest, loudest and most exciting motorsport ever conceived by humans! Think of Formula One but with spaceships instead of cars and you will be pretty much there. This Guidebook is a preview to the 2299 Formula X racing season, with details of the teams competing along with pilot profiles. It also includes a brief history of the sport and full results of the 2298 season. Throughout the book there are colour adverts for supporting companies and organisations involved with the sport, and stunning pilot portraits draw by artist Mike Wood.
The Guidebook acts as a preview to the accompanying book The Diary of Silas Volante, which is written in the form of a diary by Silas himself during the 2299 season as he attempts to win the prestigious Formula X Galactic Championship.
Contains over fifty colour images, including advertisements of companies who support Formula X and portraits of pilots taking part in the racing series by Mike Wood.

Well hello everyone. I am the creator of the Galactic Echo, which is the general fiction concept on which everything I write about is based. It is an idea of life in the 24th century, based on things that might really happen rather than stories about aliens and the usual sci-fi fare.On a more personal note, I have lived in the North East of England all my life, I have a wide range of interests. The main one of which is cycle racing in which I regularly compete up to National Championship level, so in case you are wondering yes I have raced against such illustrious competition including Sean Yates, Bradley Wiggins and Alex Dowsett. I also enjoy photography but find with my writing I have a sense of expressing myself in a way that is impossible to do with any other means, and hope that my love of the written artform comes out in the various stories you will see produced.I have created a website which has lots of things to do with the Galactic Echo, including loads of freebies connected to the stories, www.galactic-echo.com. I hope to make the Galactic Echo a sort of niche sci fi concept, rather than just have stories churned out every now and then. Feel free to contact me via the website or Facebook/Twitter, would love to hear from you if you have any queries about the Galactic Echo!
