Publisher Steve Lewis receives an old yet extraordinary science fiction manuscript.  He recognizes its potential to seat the author alongside Jules Verne and H.G. Welles for her ability to speculate on the future of space travel.  To determine if it is credible, he immediately sets out to learn more.  His investigations into the manuscript radically change not only his perspective of history, but also of technology. ------------ Copyright © 2022, Mark Wilkinson.  All rights reserved.  No part of this book shall be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted by any means, electronic, mechanical, psychic, copying, recording, or otherwise, without the written permission of the publisher.
