Description

With Imminent nuclear war between the Triumvirate (Russia, China, N. Korea and Turkey) and the Alliance (North & South America, Europe, Japan, India) the final World War is coming, and the human race is on notice. Someone needs to find a new home for those who survive it. NASA and ESA (European Space Agency) desperately launch the interstellar starship, Evolution, headed by Captain Jim Tale, a maverick and certainly not the classic space cowboy. Jim and his crew have to find a new home for humanity before the lights go out on Earth. They have their eyes set on an exoplanet, the only problem is that when they get there, they find out that no one wants anything to do with humans. They know about us. They've always known about us. They know about our wars, our hatred and division amongst our own kind. They know about our weapons of mass destruction - and they don't want us as neighbors. Jim is faced with a seemingly impossible task, find another suitable planet; but where, and how long will it take to get there - moreover, who else is already there? Jim Tale, a haunted man, a recalcitrant, obstinate and indelibly relentless one in the pursuit of his mission, isn't going to give up on billions of souls back on Earth who are desperately hoping that he will succeed. And besides, he has another agenda - he wants to find the answers to existentiality. He doesn't believe in Gods or the Big Bang - he wants the truth - and to that end, he must go to the very edge of the Universe to find it. "A fast-paced science-fiction novel that intertwines elements of suspense, romance, while tackling some of life's biggest questions...” Red City Review “... a fast-paced odyssey beyond the very edge of the universe and into the void in this gripping, surprising, and very thoughtful science fiction novel.” - Charles Freedom Long - author of Witches' Gambit “It is a wonderful piece of speculative fiction, clearly inspired by the grand masters of the genre, Asimov, Clarke and Heinlein..." "...this is dystopian sci-f at its best. Highly recommended.”
