Crucible Of A Species (Crucible Series)

*** 'Interstellar' meets 'The Martian' *** *** 'Jurassic World' is a sunday walk in a city park. **** OUR FIRST INTERSTELLAR EXPEDITION ... Should have been easy, after all, we had help. A burning question lies exposed in the 'Fermi Paradox' regarding humanity's isolation in the universe. Physicist Enrico Fermi calculated that for each grain of sand in our world, there exist a hundred Earth-like planets in our universe. Yet, we find no trace of any civilization beyond our own. So, where are the extraterrestrials -- why are we alone?" .... and why is the answer so closely tied to the dinosaurs? In 2032, a mysterious extraterrestrial intelligence began transferring technology to our planet resolving most energy and social issues. One simple demand accompanied the gifts - our ET friends (the "Asteri") command humanity immediately make their first interstellar voyage to ET's home world aboard a vessel of their design - the Argos. Colonel Daniel Drake defies growing opposition and the Argos launches. The ship responds flawlessly but before they exit the solar system, a terrorist's bomb detonates. The crippled Argos is inhaled into a cosmic string fed time distortion. Emerging, the damaged ship limps back to Earth - only to discover everything has changed. The Argos and its crew are 99 million years in the past; Earth dominated by dinosaurs ... and the Asteri are not the kind who easily forgive favors spurned. Book I of the 'Crucible Series' Hard copy format: Full (6x9) inch Craft Print " ...the author sees the human-dinosaur interaction through a new perspective - one that keeps the reader turning pages.
