A ship from Earth is coming, but it's not what they expect. Patrick and Susan have enjoyed a relatively peaceful life on the colony of Tau Ceti 2, twelve light years from Earth. However, everything changes when the starship Asimov arrives. Promises of a more prosperous colony are contradicted by uncertainty about Earth's intentions. Many among the colonists are suspicious of Earth's intentions. More immediately, is the other colony settlement-the Ellis Research Station two hundred miles from Grissom-supporting Earth's plans? Can they uncover Earth's endgame, or will they become pawns in a conspiracy that forever alters the colony's future? The first novel in the Library Ship Saga, a fascinating voyage into the future.
Autorenporträt
On a visit to old Sacramento with my family, an exhibit on the influence of the Wells Fargo wagon on the frontier made me think about how it would be for colonists in another star system without faster-than-light travel. After retiring from my engineering career in 2009, I used that inspiration and published the Tau Ceti trilogy: "A Ship From Earth," "The New Colonists," and "The Immortality Conspiracy." That effort spawned new ideas for the universe I had created, and the two Methuselah novels, the Capek novella, and the Ambassador novels followed.www.tauceti2.com
