Besiedelung

Ein Wurmloch. Eine junge Frau. Ein Hund. Und eine Mission, die größer ist als die Sterne. Kurz vor ihrer Fähnrich-Prüfung wird Rikki Wildmann mit ihrem Shuttle von einem Wurmloch verschluckt - an ihrer Seite: Charly, ein Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mit Löwenherz. Die beiden geraten mitten hinein in einen intergalaktischen Konflikt: unsichtbare Angreifer, falsche Verbündete, ein unheimlicher Nebel ... und ein blauer Geistfuchs, der im richtigen Moment den Weg weist. Was niemand ahnt: Rikki trägt ein verbotenes Geheimnis in sich - und der finsterste Zauberer der Geschichte ist erwacht. Zwischen Phaserfeuer und Zaubersprüchen, Pizza-Inseln im All und Gefängnisausbrüchen, Freundschaft, Mut und erstem Kribbeln wächst Rikki über sich hinaus. Mit Charlys unerschütterlichem Mut steht am Ende nur eine Frage: Reicht ein Herz aus Licht, um die Galaxie zu retten? Space-Opera trifft Magie - rasant, witzig und voller Herz. Für alle, die Sterne lieben, an Wunder glauben und Hunde für die besten Copiloten der Welt halten.

Patrick and Susan have enjoyed a relatively peaceful life on the colony of Tau Ceti 2, twelve light years from Earth. However, everything changes when the starship Asimov arrives. Asimov is unlike any other ship that has graced the Tau Ceti colony in the past, and when it announces a new project-a groundbreaking device called a "Link," designed to facilitate faster-than-light communication between the colony and Earth, eliminating the isolating twelve-year message delay-Susan volunteers to assist. Susan discovers that the library ship, designed to house all of Earth's knowledge, was programmed to keep much of its knowledge from the colonists-information that could help grow the colony. Forbidden knowledge and hidden truths become a problem. The forbidden knowledge, once revealed, is the key to growing the colony, but the hidden truths threaten that growth. Many among the colonists are suspicious of Earth's intentions. More immediately, is the other colony settlement-the Ellis Research Station two hundred miles from Grissom-supporting Earth's plans? Can they uncover Earth's endgame amid the Asimov's vast archives, or will they become pawns in a battle that forever alters the colony's future?

The World Space Organization (WSO) has taken over NASA and its ill-fated and under-funded space station program. Adhering to the ambitious goals of the WSO, the Mayflower Project becomes an epic journey into deep space with the purpose of colonizing a planet in the star system, Tau Ceti.However, in order to send man's living DNA through this vastness of time and space, the crew must make one supreme and morally corrupt sacrifice. Those aboard will have to reproduce across hundreds of generations, whereby all descendants must bow to the will of their ancestors in order to fulfill the Project.Culminating in the discovery of the long-forgotten truths about Earth, generation 216's findings ultimately threaten the Mayflower Project.Breaking from traditional forms of science fiction, this strikingly original story embraces the limitations of today's technology, proposing what might happen if we embarked on such a mission today. Departing from the norm of aliens and intergalactic warfare, The Mayflower Project takes inspiration from the human drama implicit to the journey, while being a cautionary tale of man's inhumanity towards his fellow man.
