Produktbeschreibung
"A Space Family Odyssey", is loosely based on the 1960's TV show "Lost in Space", taking place 100 years in the future. The Graving family is chosen from thousands of aplicant families for this mission, of traveling to Alpha Centauri, our closest neighbor, at greater than light speeds. After intensive 6-8 months of training, they are ready for space travel, an adventure they are not prepared for. Their spaceship, "The Valkrye", is equipped to travel at somewhere around 100 times the speed of light. As they exit our solar system and engage the hyperdrive, multiple emergencies befall them as they spin out of control at light speeds and encounter the wrong planet with many new obstacles to survive. It is a story of how resourceful this family can be in exploring and making a new home on Earth. Time travel and finding possible human predecessors are a few of the surprises awaiting them. It's like being on Earth 100 million years ago. And the force is definitely with them.

Autorenporträt
Charles Vaden started his career with a mechanical engineering degree from Clemson University, joined the Marine Corps, and served 11 years as a Harrier pilot, then an engineer and quality control specialist for Link Flight Simulation. After 2 years there he was hired by FedEx as a pilot and joined the Air Force and Air National Guard flying F-16, serving a combat tour in Iraq, and also flying and working for NASA. He has published several fiction and non-fiction books and has considerable knowledge of space dynamics and spacecraft systems. He has extrapolated his current aerodynamic and space mechanics knowledge to bring us this fictional space family of what easily one day could come true; but as he is fond of saying many times; "If you can't exceed the speed of light, you aren't going anywhere!"
