Publisher's summary

Captain Dave Murray and the crew of the Algonquin disappear from Earth’s solar system during a vital Space Colonization Agency mission, and find themselves reemerging light years away in a crowded planetary system with no weapons, no supplies, and no way to return home.

Through first contact scenarios, the captain and crew discover the Graviscape, the only energy field that traverses all space-time dimensions. When properly modulated, data and even matter can be transported at faster-than-light speeds giving them a potential option to get home.

Captain Murray battles paralyzing personal demons as he works to rebuild the trust of his superiors and his crew while they stumble through harrowing first-contact situations in a desperate effort to get home—to save humanity.

The civilian captain and crew must leverage their new partnerships to try and defeat the enemy’s experienced military combat space fleet to save Earth from a devastating attack.

Partnerships are weaponized driving an unusual alignment of allies and enemies, where loyalty and love are pitted against hate and uncertainty.

Science fiction fans that like adventure, first contact, battling one’s inner monologue, and emotional drama will love this epic journey, Book 1 in the Graviscape storyline.

Entertaining, Engaging First Contact Sci-Fi!

Captain Dave Murry and his crew make an unexpected first contact discovery – the Graviscape. The only energy field that provides a connection to all space-time dimensions. New worlds and beings are encountered creating a difficult time for the crew of Algonquin to maneuver successfully, earn and keep trust, and remain alive while trying to save Earth and life as we know it!

The author, M. A. Mollenkopf, is masterful at world creating as vividly demonstrated in this audiobook! Each character has their own development time, it is distinct and essential to the forward movement of the storyline. The plot twists are exciting and blend into the storyline smoothly. While the story and some characters are reminiscent of Star Trek, Orville, and Galaxy Quest, they are far more engaging and interesting. The characters are all intelligent and uniquely creative, saving the mission much like those found on the shows previously mentioned. The dialogue has an authentic sound and contributes to the intricate storyline.

The narrator, Adriel Brandt delivers the audio in an entertaining and energy-charged manner. He expertly slips into each character projecting their essence, passion, and intelligence. His delivery and deliberate placing of pauses further enhance the action.

A highly entertaining and engaging first-contact sci-fi adventure! A must hear!
