"Highly recommended for fans of Weir's 'The Martian'" ~Associated Book Review

Rigel Knight, the captain of an interplanetary science freighter, just discovered a distress beacon while on his way to Jupiter's moon Europa. Curiously, that beacon belongs to a shuttlecraft that shouldn't even exist. According to history, the shuttle and the colonization cruiser it belonged to went missing more than thirty years ago on its way to the Tau Ceti system. All were presumed dead. Did the cruiser and all its crew make it safely to the Tau Ceti system, and if so, how did such a relatively slow shuttlecraft make it back to our solar system? This full-length novel answers that and many other questions regarding Earth's first interstellar colony.

Editorial Reviews:

"McElhaney's story telling is deft, well-paced, and with an ear for conversation" ~ Beacon Journal Book Review

"The author does a good job of sucking you into the moment and feeling as if you are the main character. The technology and scenarios are realistic enough for this sci fi fan and, if you like a good storyteller Mr. McElhaney knows how to do it." ~Top 50 Amazon Reviewer and Vine Voice Michael Gallagher.
