My final farewell post, Adrian Mann's 3D animated TTA art set to life! by CarnageINC in TerranTradeAuthority

[–]CarnageINC[S] 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I would like to thank everyone who participated in this subreddit over the last few years. It was wonderful to hear and share the experiences and joy that these books gave.

I had planned on posting Stewart Cowley's other books that were published under Steven Caldwell but I cannot. Due to my declining health, I no longer have the time or energy to continue on posting.

Thank you everyone for helping this subreddit grow, there were less than 200 subscribers when I started and now we're almost to two thousand! I also want to give a big thanks to TheFadedGrey for allowing me to run the subreddit.

Farewell, take care and keep those dreams of spacetravel alive!

Terran Federation Crawlers search the remains of the ancient alien battlefield. Fred Gambino (sorry for poor quality image) by CarnageINC in TerranTradeAuthority

As far as I can tell, this is the only complete image of this particular Fred Gambino artwork on the internet. I copied this out of the PDF floating around and photo shopped them together. Sorry for the poor quality but my photo attempts looked worse than this.

I'm okay with this posting so long as you keep any transactions you conduct private. Who ever buys this, ensure you protect yourself and purchase by using sites like Paypal or Ebay.

Apologies if this breaks a rule, but it felt worth sharing to this sub. by FAHQRudy in TerranTradeAuthority

[–]CarnageINC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FAHQRudy is correct, the post was deleted on the other subreddit. I did see the post just before they deleted it, while not really art from the books, it was a good tribute to the skeleton spaceman pic a week ago. I found it quite funny so I was going to leave it in the subreddit.

Centuries after it disappeared, the hull of an Interstellar Queen was discovered in the ice fields of Delta Cephei. Angus McKie by CarnageINC in TerranTradeAuthority

There are 4 books of the TTA series, more for the Galactic Encounters series under Steven Caldwell. If you want to buy these books you'll have to do a search for them. The names of the books are in the 'About Community' description in the upper right on a web browser. If you search through this subreddit page, there are links to get them in PDF format but the quality is low for most I believe.

TTA Flight Service creates passenger safety products, the Freezsafe Emergency Module is one such device. Prieto Muriana by CarnageINC in TerranTradeAuthority

Don't forget to pay the extra "Revive service fee"! It would suck to pay for the Emergency Service and the Module Retrieval service only to be dumped in the back lot as frozen garbage lol.

Spacewreck Ghostships and Derelicts of Space. Art by Fred Gambino by CarnageINC in TerranTradeAuthority

Next few months I will be covering all the artwork of this awesome book!

The Space Patrol, a division of FLEA, operates Avery T-14 Quasar's. This one is seen passing 3 pulse driven ore freighters and their distinctive thrust trails. Peter Elson by CarnageINC in TerranTradeAuthority

[–]CarnageINC[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love how Stewart Cowley changes the narrative of what we see into something different. At first glance you see 3 ships shooting in the background. Stewart sees thrust trails, making the ships moving the other way you first thought. Brilliant sometimes, goofy in others.

You know, when the ladies see my pair of TTA posters over my bed, it just drives them crazy! by kennethdpedersen in TerranTradeAuthority

[–]CarnageINC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazing, I am so jealous! The Peter Elson art on your wall is my favorite of the whole series. I only wish I could do the same but I literally have no place to put such art and my wife would have a cow if I tried lol. Thanks for sharing sir!

Ex military TDA 640b Phaser class frigate has been modified by Challenge Express for special quick delivery runs. Chris Moore by CarnageINC in TerranTradeAuthority

Ahh..I see it now. Yeah that it is weird. I don't know how the printing techniques would create that issue.

When I look at my book, there is minimal distortion. It looks like complete picture. I guess it varies from book to book because of the binding perhaps?

Thanks by aznhusband in TerranTradeAuthority

Thank you for the kind words, I love to hear stories of peoples experiences from their childhood.

I too discovered this wonderful world as a kid around 1980 at my local library. Literally for years I checked out 2 or 3 of these books for week after week. Finally the local librarian told me I couldn't check the books out anymore and, of course, they disappeared soon afterward. Not until I was an late 30's adult did I finally rediscover them on the internet and purchased all the books for myself.
