THE BOOK

In Time Warp, the Earth is a dying planet with a dismal future. Humans live in isolated dome cities with only marginal protection from the plundering of “Outsiders” and are at risk of extinction. In response to the need to find another world to inhabit, the United States and Canada have been sending probes in the direction of Earth’s closest stellar neighbors in the Milky Way Galaxy. The U.S. probe Good Hope successfully entered orbit around the planet Astro Major contained in the Alpha Centauri Triple Star System. With positive preliminary findings, The President of the United States has ordered immediate deployment of an interstellar freighter. At the helm is Captain Nick Moss. Sent to exchange the original ground crew members who have been living on Astro Major for the past nine months with a new ground crew, Moss’s mission doesn’t go to plan after shuttle problems force him to deploy five of the Newport’s escape pods, one of which crashes and burns on the planet’s surface with no apparent survivors. And this is only the beginning. Faced with overwhelming challenges, Moss is determined to return his crew, including the first interstellar newborn, safely back to Earth. But his stamina is tested when he suddenly finds himself embroiled in a fight almost to the death by the actions of a rogue military police officer. And an outbreak of giant vicious fanged centipedes that have wormed their way onboard with the vegetation, have killed one crew member and now inhabit his ship. Around every corner lies danger. Facing mechanical issues, enemies within, Moss must react quickly to stay on course.
