Description
This futuristic action adventure has twists and turns to keep you guessing until the very end.
Launched from the warm morning glow of Cape Canaveral into infinite frozen space, Commander Char Crawford’s first command for Universal Technologies’ manned mission to Mars faces a crisis they could never conceived.
Absorbed by a wormhole and deposited on a different planet three hundred years in the future. Crawford is the only crew member her new hosts, an ecologically advanced egalitarian society are able to reanimate from her cryogenic sleep. They promise to do everything they can to return Crawford and her crew to their own time and planet. Except they’re a society without time travel. Their only example is Commander Crawford and her ship.
Commander Crawford experiences sights and adventures on a level she never knew possible, and at times, challenges her sense of reality and her deepest fears. Ultimately, can Commander Crawford trust these seemingly benevolent advanced humanoids to get her and her crew home, or are there demons lurking beneath the shadows of this utopia?
