Produktbeschreibung

The solar system will meet its doom in 84 years!

Captain Levi Metcalfe is the unwilling leader of the first (and only) Ark class vessel charged with saving a sampling of Earth's lifeforms before the neutron star arrives. But first it has to be built! It's a race against time and not everyone is for the Project. "The Journey of Atlantis" is an impossible problem set in the very near future tasked with overcoming terrible obstacles. How will the consortium ever get cooperation from the squabbling nations of Earth to build this Ark? And even if it is built, where will we go? Space is a dangerous place and the humans will just have to learn along the way in this roller coaster adventure!

Autorenporträt

When Jeff first sat down to write his latest book, The Journey of Atlantis, it was with the idea that science fiction stories never really talk about the making of these massive interstellar vessels that we read about. But, how hard would it be for humans to make a ship 65 miles long, 2.5 miles in diameter in less than one hundred years? This required a lot of research into future and near future engineering technologies, along with human applications and psychologies. What to you pack on an interstellar ark? Lots of questions and problems to address that should be stimulating for the reader and not just focusing on the journey itself.

Jeff has been a scientist with a degree in chemistry for over 25 years. He is still living the normal everyday life of a working scientist with hopes of retiring soon (even in our thirties we think of retiring "soon", don't we?). And, also like a lot of people, he likes to look at the stars and wonder. Watching meteor showers are cool too. He enjoys sharing that wonder now in the books that he writes.

"I love science fiction, especially stories that use real and believable science in them. I want to bring that love and experience of all things science to my readers so that they too can know that the future is now."
