Odysseus: Bound (The Collector)

By Stephen H. Logsdon

2nd editionIn the year 2164, humanity is expanding outward into the galaxy at an unprecedented rate and has yet to meet up with another form of intelligence to impede its progress. Knowing it's only going to be a matter of time before it does, it was decided, and at considerable cost, to dispatch ships more qualified to search out and make contact with these unknown civilizations, all in the hope of promoting peaceful coexistence. It is aboard one of these vessels that we find Lieutenant Barrett Hannom, a navigator who wanted to see more of the universe. With this particular career choice, he would be sitting on a bridge aboard a starship, guaranteeing himself a front row seat on every new star system they entered. Maybe there would be the occasional bit excitement, and maybe it would be intermingled with a whole lot more monotony of the scientific survey, but to Barret it didn't matter. He was out here at the frontier to explore.But never in his wildest dreams did he imagine being forced into a fight for his life during a far from peaceful alien encounter. In fact, this first-contact thing had gone so bad, all of humanity's representatives aboard didn't know what hit them before it was too late. Surviving, by luck, fate, and a bit of intervention, he is now on his own, facing something well outside his qualifications. Along with some unconventional help in the form of AI, it is now up to him to manage self-rescue, and if he can find any of the crew still alive in the process, so much the better. Along the way he will have to face the many mysteries of his captivity head on, because answers here will be his only avenue for salvation.
