The Amazon #1 Best Selling Hard Science Fiction Novel is back with the
Galactic Edition with More Planets & More Science!
There is no Drake Equation. There is no question on sentience. The
galaxy is alive and filled with life. The only issue: we humans aren't
invited.
The Galactic Star Alliance awaits your exploration.
In this illustrated novel co- created & written by Matthew Medney (Heavy
Metal Magazine CEO & NYU adjunct professor) and John Connelly (Lockheed
Martin Aerospace Engineer), humankind acknowledges the vastness of time,
the cyclical nature of civilization, and the obscurity of our own
history.
If our galaxy is so full of sentient life, why has no one said hello? We
thought of a simple, logical reason: no one wants too. Stepping back
and casting an objective eye on ourselves, it seems painfully obvious
that humans lack a fundamental respect for our planet and for each
other. We possess extremely short memories and long grudges, and the
likelihood of receiving alien tools to hasten our expansion seems
downright foolhardy.
The Galactic Star Alliance has been alive and well for millions of earth
years. Hundreds of thousands of sentient worlds and trillions of beings
walk, run, and crawl across the many home worlds of the Alliance. This
revelation led to many questions: How is faster-than-light speed travel
possible, and could cohesive, interstellar civilizations exist without
it? Is it conceivable to govern a coalition not of different countries,
but of different species? Each question led to another and each answer
built our world, piece by piece until it spanned thousands of answers
and millions of light-years. As for the title, from where would our
judges watch us?
But our galaxy has spoken to us humans. There are some who believe it is
out there. Not as science-fantasy but as science.
Introduce Bernard William Hubert. World renowned astrophysicist, and
Lead Scientist of the seminal company of exploration, Outer Limits.
While on loan to CERN, a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions leaves
Bernard as the sole survivor. While the scientific community & world
looks to him for answers, he simply states the unthinkable "it has to be
aliens." Inconceivable to the world, the Hubert family is investigated
and his family's name tarnished.
Disgraced and shunned. Bernard claws his way back into the equation with
his new company C.O.R.E as they work tirelessly to design an engine
capable of interstellar travel.
Follow Bernard on his road to redemption and discovery in this ensemble
cast of futurism, space travel and the fate of our species.
