Produktbeschreibung

Zarmina ... a tidally-locked world discovered in 2010 and thought to lie within the circumstellar habitability zone of Gliese 581, a red dwarf star in the Libra constellation. A real world. Perhaps man's best hope for a new home. But what might life be like on such a world? Could man even survive there?

For decades no one knew. The discovery of the Branson-Musk star drive in 2068, though, finally gave scientists a chance to find out. As Earth continues to spiral into conflict and bloodshed, one hundred volunteers board the starship Turing, gambling that they can explore Zarmina and colonize it together in peace and freedom. They'll find that Zarmina is a hard place to survive, with a forbidding climate, dangerous flares, sickness, near starvation and dangerous local wildlife. They'll learn the hard way that one mistake could kill them all and that their starship built on a budget -- doesn't necessarily have what they need. They know that no white knight will come to their rescue, but they're smart. They know they can handle it. As personalities clash, battle lines are drawn and the body count rises, though, the explorers will discover an unexpected and even greater threat to their survival.

Autorenporträt

During John's 30 years as a military attorney, he developed a reputation as an accomplished writer of military legal briefs. His career and his own travels have taken him to some of the most exotic places in this world: the pyramids of Egypt, the Parthenon in Greece, the Colosseum of Rome, the Kremlin of Moscow, Machu Picchu in Peru, down the Rhine and even to the depths of the ocean. But John dreamed of traveling to an even more exotic place, a different world, but one he believed could exist. Unable to find science fiction capable of taking him to such a place, he set out to write a thinking man's sci-fi novel a realistic novel of space colonization that takes place on a real world. "Zarmina" came first, but he followed it up with new stories in the same setting: "Battle for Zarmina" and now "Return to Zarmina." Each is a stand-alone story that deals with different subjects in creative ways you haven't seen a thousand times before. And now there's "Re-Life," the story of a couple in trouble who takes an enticing offer to re-live their lives in the multiverse. But there's a catch ...
