Fractured Galaxy

Three Astronauts. One Impossible Journey. Derek Williams, Jacob Mendez, and Vicky Abrams have, trained for years to helm the first manned spaceflight launched by US Air Force Space Command. The Pioneer's mission is simple, test the experimental new Hawking Engine, designed to take them to Mars faster than any manned craft has traveled before. But when, the engine reaches full capacity, the craft unexpectedly hurtles into the unknown. With power levels falling and communications offline, the crew must face the unbelievable truth, The Pioneer is light-years from Earth in uncharted space. Far from the safety of their simulators and support from Ground Control, Derek, Jacob, and Vicky are, challenged to the end of their abilities to keep the ship safe, and survive long enough to find a way home.

Jacob froze. Something was very wrong. Stranded in uncharted space after the malfunction of their experimental Hawking Engine, Derek, Jacob and Vicky struggle to survive in their damaged spacecraft and hold onto the impossible hope that they will make it home. Several hundred lightyears away, their friends and colleagues on Earth work against the odds to overcome the very real limits of their technology and make a way for the crew to return. But not everyone is convinced the mission is worth the resources, and tensions mount in this captivating sequel to Random Walk.

Never give up. Even when there's no way home. Stranded. Alone. With dwindling oxygen supplies and an unfinished navigation program that was a long shot at best, Derek, Jacob, and Vicky must work against the odds-and the clock-if they are to make it home. But home doesn't hold out much hope for them. The spaceflight supervisors face the loss of their jurisdiction over the mission and Bravo Crew is fighting a losing battle to stay focused on a rescue effort they can no longer pretend to control. The astronauts' natural optimism and practiced ingenuity has kept them alive so far, but you can't breathe optimism, and ingenuity can't work miracles. In this crucial finale to the Fractured Galaxy trilogy, Derek, Jacob, and Vicky are determined to make every moment count-before it's their last.
