Description
After decades of unsuccessful space exploration, mankind resigns itself to a lonely existence in the cosmos. The age of discovery is at an end, and cruise liners weave through ancient wormholes taking rapidly declining passengers to star systems devoid of life as interest in spaceflight continues to dwindle.
As a child, Matt Archer and his father planned a vacation that would take them to the furthest reaches of explored space. But Matt’s father is tragically killed before father and son can set off on their journey. Ten years later, a youthful adult honors his father’s memory by undertaking “The Starport Adventure” on his own.
A freak accident sends Matt’s cruise liner light years off course. The massive ship smashes into an alien city, killing millions. Believing the incident to be an act of war, the powerful Enrilean Empire retaliates by attacking ships sent to investigate the catastrophe. Unprepared for this kind of conflict, Earth’s outmatched forces struggle to rescue survivors whilst avoiding their own destruction as the disastrous first contact explodes into all-out war.
The Enrileans are determined to completely annihilate the human race. They believe humanity has a connection to ancient gods their ancestors wiped out millennia ago in an atrocity concealed by a twisted religion that now dominates the empire.
Beyond the Starport Adventure is the first part of The Bullet trilogy of stories.
