Print: $9.99 Seattle author Robert M Blevins ('The Corona Incident', 'Say Goodbye to the Sun') presents an exciting story about a risky first mission to the Red Planet. A new U.S. President with vision has given NASA a near-impossible challenge: Send a manned mission to the Red Planet within four years, when Mars and Earth make their closest approach in a decade. Twenty-five images illustrate this fast-moving tale of survival and adventure. Conflict between the characters drives the story as Mission Commander Walker, MEV lander pilot Anna Johnson, and Specialist Dale McKendrick roll the dice in a gamble unprecedented in space exploration. Main character 'Anna Johnson' was partially based on real-life Canadian Chief Astronaut Julie Payette, who received a copy in hardback. Research for the novel was obtained through NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. For Kindle owners, the Kindle Book version is available at Amazon.

Print: $10.22 A. J. Desmond's mind-boggling story about a group of colorful characters who finance the construction of a vast underground shelter beneath London to use in the event of a nuclear holocaust. None of them really expected to use it.Welsh writer Desmond takes you into their world when the unthinkable happens. 'Big Bang' is difficult to categorize, imaginative in its scope, and hard to put down. Back cover quote: "Prepare to be dragged down Alice's rabbit-hole by the scruff of the neck..." Good advice. Slightly higher price than most AB books is due to length. 286 pages/ 6 x 9 size.

Hardcover Print: $24.97 This is the HARDCOVER EDITION of the book.
The New York Times calls the Galileo Project, "Like trying to go to the moon...during the time of Jules Verne."
'Say Goodbye To The Sun' spans vast distances to tell the story of the ultimate adventure. It begins with a chance discovery in the New Mexico desert. It leads to man's first real attempt to find life beyond our Solar System.
'Say Goodbye' is a story of survival against incredible odds, of discovery, and the basic struggle between good and evil. It is a tale of action and high adventure, and a triumph of the human spirit.
It is not your typical space odyssey.
Originally written in 1982, the only known copy of the manuscript was lost after the book was rejected by several publishers as being 'far fetched.' Twenty years later, a previously unknown copy was found in an attic in Seattle. Today, many of the devices and inventions used in the 1982 version of the novel have become reality. A fascinating and exciting read.
