Sailing Daedalus Paperback – February 6, 2014

by Kenneth J. Gillispie (Author)
4.6 out of 5 stars 3 ratings
What will we do when an asteroid large enough to destroy our planet threatens our very existence? Could such asteroids actually be not only diverted, but mined for precious metals? Take a ride into the near future and join the Daedalus Exploration and Mining Corporation (DEMCO) as its expert team attempts to not only steer the huge asteroid named Icarus, but also mine it and make a huge profit. First, the team of Ken and Jan needs to fly into space and latch on to the huge rock. It all seemed entirely possible, according to the expert calculations of the DEMCO team, but not all goes as planned in space. Would Ken and Jan live to tell about their brave attempt to save our beloved planet (and make a fortune)? Buckle your space belt for this unprecedented white-knuckle ride into the surprisingly crowded outer atmosphere.

During the Vietnam era, my older brother, S.R. Gillispie and I served in the military. He served in the USN and I in the USAF. After surviving civilian life so far, I wrote my first Novella about hunting and mining asteroids and I am continuing the series with the second full novel. When I sent my brother a copy, he wanted to write stories too, so we are now collaborating.

Our new series Tales of Havoc will have several volumes of two to 3 stories each. Our second book will soon be available and I am creating a new website where we will be promoting them to a greater extent.

I am also embarking at this time on a few books on political upheaval, social change and education as to the problems we now have and several methods of solving those problems.

It is my hope you will find all of our writings educational and entertaining.

    4.0 out of 5 stars I loved the concept of this book
    Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2015
    As a long-time sci-fi fan, I loved the concept of this book. Even better, I got to meet the author and his lovely wife last year. They have lived very interesting lives. You can tell they collaborated on this project because Ken puts them both in the heart of this book!
