Book Description
Praise for Gravity Drive: “I started reading Gravity Drive - Key to the Cosmos after dinner, figuring I'd get a couple chapters into it just to see how it started...and couldn't put it down. I read the whole thing straight through. Well done! I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the characters. I loved the aliens.” Jerry Oltion - Nebula Award winning author of over 15 novels and 150 published stories, including numerous Authorized Star Trek novels. (Note: This is a work of fiction) - Since the invention of rockets, their propulsion systems have gone essentially unchanged. We still depend on blasting some type of propellant out the rear to shoot the rocket forward (Newton’s Third Law - check it out). There’s two main problems with this method: propellant is always in limited supply, and therefore you can’t really go very fast. This is why we use gravitational assist from planets and the Sun, to get us places. It still takes years, and that’s just inside our solar system. What if we could go to our Moon in hours or Mars in a couple days, and even turn around mid-flight if we forgot our toothbrush? This is the story behind the development of the Gravity Drive propulsion system, WAIT Spoiler Alert - and the profound effect it has not just on space exploration but on all of humanity, it’s benefits for Earth’s ecology, and most importantly, it’s role in humanities future in the greater galactic community. The story follows an engineer who has a close encounter and decides he’s far more interested in how the UFO flies, than who might be inside. After designing the first gravity drive propulsion system, he receives confirmation of his design when he meets up with two engineers who have been studying the crashed Alien craft from 1947 Roswell. And yes, you’ll finally hear the true story of that night in 1947 Roswell and why the US government has kept it covered up. The three engineers become fast friends and together with NASA they build the first fully functional gravity drive space craft, and fly off to many adventures among the cosmos with a slightly wacky alien AI (the friendly kind) and meet some very interesting aliens. OK - we’re getting into some real spoiler territory here so you’ve been warned, again: After bringing additional advanced technology back to humanity, courtesy of some friendly aliens, our four heroes start humanity down a path of cleaning up the mess we’ve made of our Earth and it’s inhabitants. So it’s time for a very long nap, and we wake up just in time for the second book. It’s thousands of years later and humans have really worked their butts off to make the Earth a paradise once again, when along comes the Universe to snatch it all away. The only hope for saving life on Earth rests with their new best friend, and previously mentioned artificial intelligence - Jason. Hence the title of the second book. With the Ark fully loaded we head into the third book, where we quickly discover that the Universe doesn’t play fair, and is determined to destroy all life on Earth once and for all. It’s time for humanity to get serious about deep space exploration and find us some new homes out there in the cosmos. The only problem is there just aren’t a lot of no vacancy signs. You’ll love the way the trilogy wraps up, and the important messages not so discreetly hidden in the story. After all, they’re important and I don’t want you to miss them in case you fall asleep a lot while reading. I hope you enjoy these three books as much as I enjoyed writing them, and Thank You for your choice in literature. It shows you have Great Taste.
