First Fleet #1-4: The Complete Saga - Softcover

Reseña del editor

With the discovery of faster-than-light travel, humanity has begun its exploration of the galaxy. When a military fleet discovers the ancient ruins of an extinct alien civilization, it is heralded as the first proof of intelligent life away from Earth. However, when a medical regeneration pod accidentally revives alien tissue and awakens something shockingly destructive, the fleet transmits a single terrifying distress call before going silent.

A team of scientists is assembled to find the casualties, including a young entanglement expert who is struggling with the knowledge her sister is one of the missing. As her team gets closer to the horror that is the remains of the fleet, she realizes that some things are better left unfound.

A cosmic horror inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft.

“Help us. We’ve gone too far...”

When the military’s largest space fleet disappears with a single terrifying transmission, the best and brightest are recruited to find out what happened.

Beka Grales, a young quantum entanglement expert whose only sister was stationed on the missing fleet, struggles along with her team to decipher their only clues: the encrypted memories of the lost soldiers.

Meanwhile across the galaxy, two young twin girls awaken from visions of ghastly souls pleading for help. Night after night the girls are drawn deeper into their dreams as they communicate with these lost beings. As their mother, Cam Dowager, realizes the lost souls are connected to the missing fleet, she works frantically to hide the twins and their knowledge from the increasingly desperate military.

Despite the military’s sole focus on recovering their ships, Beka and Cam begin to realize the horrifying truth...that the Fleet, and the creature that has taken control of it, must never be found again.

Biografía del autor

Stephen Case gets paid for teaching people about space, which is pretty much the coolest thing ever. He also occasionally gets paid for writing stories about space (and other things), which have appeared in Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Daily Science Fiction, Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show, Shimmer, and elsewhere. His novel, First Fleet, is a science fiction horror epic (think H. P. Lovecraft meets Battlestar Galactica) published by Retrofit Publishing and available on Amazon. Stephen holds a PhD in the history and philosophy of science and will talk for inordinate amounts of time about nineteenth-century British astronomy. He lives with his wife, four children, and two illegal backyard chickens in an undisclosed suburb of Chicago. Follow him on Twitter at @BoldSaintCroix or at ww.stephenrcase.wordpress.com.
