The Nominal Echo Chronicles

By Manuel Panchana Moya

A forward-looking yet contemporary hard science fiction epic, The Nominal Echo Chronicles will take you on humanity's journey to undertake its inaugural interstellar voyage.

In the year 2005, scientists Larry Meade and Marcus Nevanti find Fides, a planet in the Alpha Centauri system that could have the conditions to support human life. The discovery sets off a series of events that span nearly a hundred years, bringing the principles of space colonization into conflict with those of Earth's environmentalism. Project Nominal Echo is the biggest technological drive since the Industrial Age, but powerful forces would see it fail by any means possible.

As the world gets closer to its first interstellar voyage, the stakes grow ever higher. In this context, individual stories address complex and contemporary issues. They weave against the backdrop to highlight the joys, sorrows, and challenges to be faced in order to secure humanity's future.

The Miramichi Reader - "The Nominal Echo Chronicles is a bit of a thought piece, prompting the reader to ponder the implications of humanity's quest for other habitable worlds. ...] The author also does a good job of conveying the human impacts of an endeavour of this nature at the individual level."

The Whistler Independent Book Award - "The hook, that there's another possibly habitable planet out there - reachable by humans - is great and absolutely holds the reader's interest. The Nominal Echo Chronicles talks intelligently about big issues, real and timely issues for humanity right now."
