THRILLING SPACE ADVENTURE FROM A MARINE VET!
IN A RACE AGAINST TIME, A GATEWAY TO THE UNKNOWN AWAITS
A Thrilling New Space Adventure
Five years ago, astronaut Jack Templeton took the spacecraft Magellan
to the farthest reaches of our solar system, never to be heard from
again.
Until now.
When the Magellan suddenly reappears where an undiscovered planet was
suspected to be, it poses more questions than answers. How did Jack
survive all this time? Can he make it back to Earth before his life
support runs out? And what is the object long thought to be the elusive
"Planet Nine"?
In a race against time, Jack's former crewmate Traci Keene spearheads a
desperate effort to outfit a rescue mission. But she has competition.
Agencies of both American and foreign governments have their own
agendas, and saving rogue astronauts isn't among them.
And at the edge of all that is known, a gateway to the unknown awaits.
About Frontier:
"Reading through the book, it is very clear just how
ripped-from-the-headlines this book really is . . . Frontier is an
enjoyable near-future science fiction thriller, a lightning-fast plot
that feels like something that could be seen within the next hundred
years." --Warped Factor
About Frozen Orbit (Eccentric Orbits, book one):
"The story moves quickly with elements of both a spy thriller and a
space race . . . Frozen Orbit could make for an impressive movie, one
that would stand with greats such as Contact or Interstellar."
--Booklist
". . . hard science fiction and an entertaining and gripping plot. . . .
Chiles nails the atmosphere of a NASA-run human spaceflight mission in
the 21st century, the jargon of the mission controllers and astronauts,
and the bureaucratic infighting characterizing today's NASA. . . . The
scenario and background . . . are the scaffolding on which a gripping
tale is formed. Readers experience the wonder the astronauts feel on a
remarkable voyage, groan as the Earth goes crazy as the expedition
progresses, and thrill to a powerful conclusion . . . science fiction at
its best." --The Galveston County Daily News
About Farside by Patrick Chiles:
"The situations are realistic, the characters interesting, the perils
harrowing, and the stakes could not be higher." --John Walker,
Ricochet.com
". . . a fast-paced and exciting story that bounces between the borders
of technological thriller and science fiction. . . . an impressive
effort." --The Galveston County Daily News
About Patrick Chiles:
"Chiles puts his military and aviation experience to good use writing
science fiction with a hard edge of realism . . . Technology we could
build now and situations we're likely to face when we use it combine to
give Chiles' worlds and characters a verisimilitude that draws you in."
--Rick Partlow, best-selling author of the Drop Troopers series
