Space Freighter Neo Eden (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Captain Loos Aucoin, born and raised on a space station, enjoys his time away from the ship on Earth in the beautiful. semi-tropical wetlands of South Louisiana. His vacation time over, he is on his way back to work when he meets his newly acquired Security Chief for the first time: Shimmerah "Shim" Fortier, a beautiful dark-skinned woman from New Orleans on her way to the space freighter for her first assignment. Aboard the ship, one of Shim's team members immediately begins making trouble, thinking he had earned the position of Security Chief--not someone who has 'slept her way to the top'. And...as if the ship's business of transporting expensive merchandise across a hostile galaxy wasn't perilous enough, their home office, GIT, fraught with office politics, has sent them on their journey with dangerously shoddy equipment. The supply vessel, Intrepid, with its 25 souls on board has barely gotten underway when they encounter a 'surprise', almost destroying their mission and their lives. The crew's comfortable workaday schedule has suddenly evolved into a dangerous pursuit fraught with pirates looking to take advantage of lone trade vessels isolated in deep space.

Autor

Writing novels was something Cappy and Pegody (Ray and Peggy Robin) have both wanted since they were kids.
As a child, Pegody amused her family and teachers with her writing, then in Art College, although on the Dean's list, her professors kept asking why she wasn't writing professionally and illustrating her works. For her, the timing was never just right.
Cappy, a colorful storyteller in his own right, worked on boats since he was a teenager to put himself through college. After graduating and working as an electrical engineer jetting around the country giving lectures, living the "suit and tie" corporate life, he decided that if he had to be in an office, he'd rather it be back on the boat in South Louisiana, looking out the window at beautiful bayous drifting by. On clear nights, his imagination was fueled as he gazed out into the vast darkness, with the stars staring back at him. He wondered what it would be like to captain a ship in the future, from 'port to port' in the heavens, as he did in today's world, traveling from port to port along the Mississippi River, the Intracoastal Waterway, the bayous, backwaters and canals.
Together they have been writing a blog, "Cappy and Pegody's World" since 2005, about their adventures of everyday life in "Sunny South Louisiana". Finally, in response to so many requests from their readers, (and family and friends) who have dogged them, seemingly, all their lives, to "please write a book", we present our first novel in a planned six book series, "Space Freighter: Neo Eden". We had fun writing it and hope you enjoy it, as well.
Thank you for reading our book. If you enjoyed it won't you please take a moment to leave us a review? Thanks
