3651_horizons

Publisher's Summary

For 20 years Earth has been exploring the stars using faster-than-light stardrives in which a manmade black hole pulls the ship through space. Dangerous to themselves and everything in the vicinity, the24 starships, led by the flagship Horizon, have opened up new worlds to colonize.

Now mankind stands on the brink of a momentous breakthrough: Hyperidor drives; faster-than-light travel that is inexpensive, risk free, and available to all. All that stands in the way of vast exploration and colonization is a corporate behemoth that wants to see the hyperidor drive fail; no matter what the cost. It is left to the Horizon's Captain Pamela Carlson and Third Engineer Mahlon Stewart to decipher the means, motives and murders that threaten not only mankind's future in space but the Horizon and its crew as well.
