Description
Years ago, ten-year-old Jason Young stared into the night sky dreaming of the day he could soar among the stars and explore new worlds. In 2018, Jason is given the chance to chase his dream, but the dream quickly becomes a nightmare. Jason is one of six chosen to embark on a special mission to test the new experimental ship Dream Chaser, a craft that can fly at sub-light speeds using a reactor. The mission has endured heavy media criticism instigated by a group called Global Safety Watch, who claims the ship and reactor are going to be used as a weapon. After a two-year delay, the six take off, Jason's lifelong dream finally a reality. But soon they are faced with a threat: the ship's controls are taken over by a virus, and the ship is on a direct collision course with a top-secret military satellite. When Dream Chaser jets off into deep space without a flight plan, Jason is forced to confront a haunting past to find his way again. A fast-paced adventure filled with sabotage and hope, Dream Chaser is a novel that takes readers on a remarkable quest to destiny.
