The Prime8 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Runaway global warming has decimated the worlds agricultural output, and worldwide hunger has prompted mass migration. Attempts at climate modification have only inflamed regional conflicts.

The United Nations and the G10 governments respond by funding a study into the feasibility of expanding human life elsewhere in our galaxy. The UN awards the project to QFT Global Industries; they name the project PRIME8.

By 2144, eight spaceships approach the eight nearest habitable exoplanets; the craft carry no human crew, just androids.

The human crews never leave earth; for twenty-four months, they remain cocooned in Stasisneither alive nor deadjust stored in a secure location on earth.

The future of humanity rests with our ability to transmit and receive entangled quantum data.

If you have a physics PhD or a degree in Terraforming, then theres a place in Stasis waiting for you. Its only a two-year mission; the pays good, but the stress and six-month rehab after Stasis may kill you.

Autorenporträt

Ian K Gandon I joined the Royal Air Force in 1976 as an Aircraft Weapons Engineer straight from school aged sixteen and half, therefore a good understanding of engineering and science is essential. I have held a life-long fascination for scientific innovation, subscribed to various scientific periodicals, and recently joined the British Interplanetary Society to keep up with fast moving developments. After retiring from the Air Force in 2000, my wife, and I followed a long held dream, we sold-up and moved to Brittany France, but work was scarce, so after the first five-years, we returned to Britain, to look for work. We both work together as a couple, Pam is Housekeeper, and I work as Gardener, driver and maintenance. The gardening hours allowed me time to think and organise my writing, but I desperately need more quality writing time than my current lifestyle gives me. I am writing this book to open minds to the most likely direction for deep space exploration, but mostly, as originally intended, to explain to my long-suffering wife what it is I have been babbling on about all these years. I want to give the reader a realistic journey to the stars. Every technology hinted at in the book is real, or already under development to varying degrees, I am just linking them up into a workable deep space program.
