Synopsis

Severely abused as a child, Dr. Grant Chapman is a multi-phobic computer genius who believes in NASA's mission to far space, but is too afraid to make the trip. His best friend - NASA rogue, con artist, and trouble-shooter, Billy Jepler - drugs Grant and launches him into space. When Grant emerges from stasis, he finds the other nauts dead, a section of the ship battered shut, and the ecological balance of the Galileo threatened. His only companions are two miniature poodles and SINDAS, the ship's self-initiating, yet common-sense-challenged, computer. In the blackness of space, Grant confronts his fears and finds a power that challenges the traumatic memories of his abuse. Watch the book video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuMUc4d0Yb0

Goodreads review by Beregond on June 18, 2015

Good story, too much message A good tale of man's first interstellar slower than light ship. While struggling to keep the ship going the last surviving crew member finds Jesus.

Goodreads review by Carol on August 04, 2016

It is a story of forgiveness and GODs intervention and Grace for redemption. It has topics in it, one that is near and dear to my heart, child abuse. It has some Christian intervention. There is one SURPRISING ending. It is about overcoming intense fears and phobias.......more
