At the end of the 21st century, a catastrophic accident
in the asteroid belt has left two surveyors dead.
There is no trace of their young son,
Alex Manez, or of the asteroid itself.
On the outer edge of the solar system,
the first manned mission to Pluto,
led by the youngest female astronaut in
NASA history, has led to an historic discovery:
there is a marker left there by an alien race … is a marker left there by an alien race
for humankind to find. We are not alone!
While studying the alien marker, it begins to react.
Four hours later, the missing asteroid appears
in a Plutonian orbit, along with young Alex Manez,
who has developed some alarming side-effects from his
exposure to the kinetic element they call Kinemet.
From the depths of a criminal empire based on Luna,
an expatriate seizes the opportunity to wrest control
of outer space, and takes swift action.
The secret to faster-than-light speed is up for grabs,
and the race for interstellar space begins!

The character development was terrible – I …
Interesting characters and plot, very thought provoking with many unanswered questions to be addressed in later episodes.
So put the coffee on as you’ll be up all night reading this page turner.
Ask yourselves did the Mayans get it right when they predict star travelers will visit earth again. Maybe they’re already here.
A great tale commencing with a huge discovery on Pluto. But then an asteroid blows up and is propelled at Faster Than Light speeds to Pluto. …

I really liked this book as I was reading I could see everything almost as if I was there. Once I started reading I had a very hard time putting the book down. Some of it I must confess seemed a bit far fetched but then it is science fiction but even saying that the book transported me to another place another time and isn’t that what good writing …
