Space Opera

[close] A group for the upcoming science fiction novel 'Curiosity' from the author of 'The Destiny of Ethan King', 'KARA' and 'Pembleton, PhD'. When humanity's farthest-flung outpost detects a mysterious transmission from a binary star system, the only ship available to investigate is a small research vessel due to be scrapped. What's worse, the only people qualified to investigate are a ragtag bunch of misfits, each arriving at Kappa-5 Outpost after fleeing personal demons back home. Throw in the mix a species of 'core dwellers' living deep beneath the surface of the Earth deciding to rise up and declare war against humans in an attempt to take control of Earth and a large fleet of pirates boarding Kappa-5 Outpost as the crew of the unarmed research ship Curiosity discovers that the source of the transmission is an advanced malevolent alien race bent on wiping out humanity in order to preserve their own dimension. The faster-than-light pace and the array of eclectic and intriguing characters are sure to draw in any traditional science fiction fan. Fans of Star Trek, Star Wars, Firefly, Doctor Who and Babylon 5 will get a kick out of this new starship-based adventure.
