I Wish I May, an adventure set in the fourth millennium, is written as a classic Science Fiction. Earth's spirit and technology has bought an empire in the stars. Earth manages the thousands of livable planets it has settled, creating a golden age for humankind. But those most responsible for running The Congress of Planets are worried because its planetary populations are burgeoning and will soon reach socio-political critical mass, a point the Regent, Earth's most powerful and responsible human believes will become the long road down.Earth needs more planets, and fast! An alien ship of unknown design arrives then, suggesting to those in power that it has the answer to Earth's need for an improved hyperdrive. The being in charge of the ship provides evidence that it has come from a distance four times further than Earth's capability has taken it, and far quicker.The tale begins with Earth's decision to send sixteen of its number to the alien's planet, Cowgres, to learn the secret of the super hyperdrive. They discover that nothing is as it seemed, and learn the alien's hidden agenda only too late.

First-rate SciFi.,

This review is from: I Wish I May: A Tale of the Fourth Millennium (Paperback)
Lots of technical details make this future world as real as today's. And while the physical world keeps changing, mankind, with its desires and deceitfulness, is still the same. Oh, and watch where you step. That grass is nasty.
