Space Command

About the Book

The book is a concept that began in the minds of a few college students, sort of a "what if?" It mushroomed into a full-blown project that involved the U.S. Navy, Army and the federal government. It started out as an experiment to design a technologically-advanced craft to be used for deep space exploration. The project went awry very early on and the novice crew found themselves accidentally hurled into space.

The pages come alive with spine tingling adventure, unexpected danger and encounters with several alien civilizations - both hostile and friendly. The crew of the USS Constellation face hazards, battle and near death experiences as they learn how to manoeuvre their way back home to the planet earth.
