Earth Escape: Someone is waiting for us at the edge of the Universe
In 2015, NASA's Kepler space observatory discovered a planet named Kepler-452b, which shares Earth-like qualities and is potentially habitable. However, the challenge lies in its distance-1400 light years away. It took another 14 years for scientists to develop faster-than-light quantum propulsion, allowing for such vast distances to be traversed in years instead of centuries. Meanwhile, humanity's inclination for conflict has brought the world to a precarious brink, with global powers poised for what may become the ultimate war. Jim Tale, an unexpected commander of the massive spacecraft Evolution, awakens years into their journey, preparing for arrival at K-452b, or "New Earth." With the help of the ship's AI system, referred to as CASS, he readies for a landing on a planet that could be humanity's new home-that is, if mankind hasn't self-destructed by then. What they find is beyond anyone's imagination; even the brightest minds from Earth's space agencies could not have foreseen what they encounter. The ensuing journey transforms into an epic space odyssey, leading Jim and his crew, guided by CASS, deeper into the cosmos. For Jim, a seeker of truth who joined NASA in search of answers to existence and creation, this adventure brings an astonishing revelation, one that could change the course of humanity.
Herb Baker, a 40+ year veteran of NASA, who has interacted with many astronauts in his time, had this to say in his foreword to Earth Escape..."I've been lucky enough to meet and become friends with many American astronauts over that time and following along with this book's brave, irreverent, plain-spoken astronaut Jim Tale reminded me of some of those real-life American heroes. No matter how dangerous and life-threatening their mission was, or how many unexpected complications they faced along the way, they were committed to completing their mission and always believed that the rewards were worth the risks."
- Herb Baker "A fast-paced science-fiction novel that intertwines elements of suspense, romance, while tackling some of life's biggest questions..."
- Red City Review Of you like Science Fiction surrounded by fantasy, this book is for you, if you like fantasy shot through with science fiction then this is the book for you, you are going down a corridor you are confident that you know just where this author is taking you and the direction that you were expecting does not exist, you are backtracking or going the opposite direction, it is like this most of the way through it {the book} I loved it you will also {most likely} I liked it so much that i am anxiously waiting the sequel, hope you do to
- D.M. If the author 's name is "Real", then I am missing part of the quality of this author. The depth of his mind builds as he constructs the story. His creation of the final chapters and in depth philosophical presentation are impossible to describe, only reading it is meaningful. My words sounds like some type of hippie, but it is impossible to describe. I have read thousands of books and never taken to writing as I done hear. Can't wait for sequel.
- Kindle Customer "... a fast-paced odyssey beyond the very edge of the universe and into the void in this gripping, surprising, and very thoughtful science fiction novel."
- Charles Freedom Long - author of Witches' Gambit "It is a wonderful piece of speculative fiction, clearly inspired by the grand masters of the genre, Asimov, Clarke and Heinlein..." "...this is dystopian sci-f at its best. Highly recommended."
