The "Beyond Science Fiction" book is being published to coincide with the world premiere of a major exhibition of Michael Whelan's paintings at the Riverside Art Museum in Southern California. Backers who pledge $450 or more will be invited (along with a guest of their choice) as V.I.P. Patrons-of-Honor to an exclusive reception (with food and beverages) and an intimate preview tour of the exhibition personally presented by Michael on the evening of the show's grand opening in February 2017. Exclusive perks for backers at this level will include an introduction to Michael and a surprise gift from the artist. This reward also includes everything from the Large Signed Print & Book Set tier. Backer and guest must arrange their own transportation to Riverside, California on a date to be determined in February 2016.
