An exhilarating journey to the stars--or a heartbreaking battle for
survival?
Pilot-in-training Matt Cruse and his love interest, Kate de Vries, an
expert on high-altitude life-forms, are invited aboard the
Starclimber, a vessel that literally climbs its way into the cosmos.
Matt secretly plans on asking Kate to marry him, but before they even
set foot aboard the ship, Kate announces her engagement--to someone
else.
Despite this bombshell, and Matt's anguish, they embark on their journey
into space, but soon the ship is surrounded by strange and unsettling
life-forms, and the crew is forced to combat devastating mechanical
failure. For Matt, Kate, and the entire crew of the Starclimber, what
began as an exciting race to the stars has now turned into a battle to
save their lives.
