Free Graphics and First Chapter of Exile To The Stars

Free downloads are listed in the table below. Some are available in several formats. All images and text files were created in Windows format. Text files were composed using MS Office 2000. Clicking the file you want will pull it up for viewing if you have the associated application, at which point you can save it to your hard disk or print it out.

The PDF format is used extensively since it is viewable across all operating systems. If you don't have Acrobat Reader on your computer to view PDF files with, this program is available free of charge from the Adobe web site.
Please Note: all images, maps and tactical drawings represent copyrighted material and may not be used for promotional or business purposes. They are intended only for domestic viewing. In the case of the image, Spiral Galaxy, visit the NASA web site to obtain their use guidelines.

Editor's Note: Maps and tactical images were created by the author, Dale Mattheis, as line drawings while writing the series. Later, the drawings were digitized and modified in PhotoShop. No attempt was made to change the original drawings other than to add color and a few strokes here and there to assist clarity. He does not claim to be an illustrator. 

Cover:  The book cover illustration, a true work of art that still amazes me, was created by Bleu Turrell (azulart@aol.com)  and accurately depicts a scene in Exile to the Stars. The cover layout was designed by Shannon Bodie of Lightbourne (shannon@lightbourne.com).  Proof-reading was performed by Jeanmarie Martin of A WAY WITH WORDS (www.awaywithwords.com).
