Genre: Science Fiction
Title: Beyond Those Distant Stars
Author: John B. Rosenman
"Merely five years before, when the Empire of United Worlds was enjoying an uequalled period of conquest and expansion, the Scaleys had invaded this part of the galaxy. Where they´d come from, no one knew, nor whether they had any real culture, beliefs or language as humans understood them. None of their ships had ever been captured, and the few Scaleys taken prisoner had somehow self-destructed or willed themselves to die, leaving only rapidly deteriorating corpses for analysis," writes author John B. Roenman in Chapter 3 of "Beyond Those Distant Starts."
This Sci-Fi novel moves at warp speed as what has become a corrupt human race fights for its very survival against an alien race armed with superior weapons and backed by a leader who claims be an all powerful All Mother.
The story begins with a prologue in which the main character, Stella McMasters, saves the life of a comrade life, is almost killed in the process and is saved when physicians remove her radioactive flesh and turn her into a superhuman cyborg. The action starts when she is given command of her first space ship and McMasters soon finds herself cast into the role of saving humanity from the alien menace.
This is a no-nonsense space battle story with plenty of action to move the story forward through all the twists and turns of deception, treason, human selfishness, prejudice and - of course - love. And as it is with most of the best Sci-Fi, the story will cause you to contemplate some of the big question humans face when they look up at the night sky and wonder: do I matter, is there a god, what´s it all about, Alfie?
John Rosenman is an English professor at Norfolk State University, where he designed a course in writing science fiction and fantasy.
Rosenman's first novel, THE BEST LAUGH LAST, won McPherson and Co´s (formerly Treacle Press´s) First Novel Prize, and was published in 1981 and again in 1982.
He is currently working on "Star Warrior," a sequel to "Beyond Those Distant Stars."
Beyond Those Distant Stars is Highly Recommended by Reviewer: Pete Klein Allbooks Reviews.
