Product Description
Robert M Blevins, author of the sci-fi adventure novels 'The Corona Incident,' and 'The 13th Day of Christmas,' offers up the book that first brought attention to his work. Originally written in 1978, the last known copy of the manuscript was lost before it had a chance to be published. Twenty-five years later, a previously unknown copy was found in an attic in Seattle where the author had once lived. It was re-edited and published. Some of the predictions and science used in 'Say Goodbye to the Sun' have since come true in this nonstop tale of action and adventure.
July 4, 2049: Sixteen years after a chance discovery by an astronomer in the New Mexico desert, the first real attempt to send humans beyond our solar system is nearly ready.
The New York Times calls the Galileo Project, 'Like trying to go the moon...during the time of Jules Verne...'
Newsweek magazine goes even further, calling Galileo 'the most expensive suicide mission in history.'
None of this matters to the crew of the Galileo Explorer. They have trained together for more than a decade and they are ready. Few give them any chance of success.
This is their story.
