    About this ebook

    Sometimes the biggest danger in your fictional setting is the setting itself!  Natural disasters can challenge your characters, rewrite political boundaries, and threaten whole planets.  However, what disasters fit your setting, your story, and your goals?

     

    This book is a helpful series of 50 questions, as well as follow-up exercises and more, to help you think about what history means in your setting.  From records to disinformation, historians to museums, this book walks you through the important questions with helpful advice, suggested exercises, and more.

     

    It's time to give the power of nature the respect it deserves.
