Lost Between Stars e-bog

It is 2299, in the distant world, New Hope. Peter West was on the verge of graduating from his primary school with big dreams for his future. With a starship license burning a hole in his pocket, he dreamed of someday owning his own spacecraft. Peter wanted to see what was out there and believed his only opportunity to do this was to join the Space Explorers, if they would only have him. Talented young pilot or not, Peter's skills may not be enough to make the cut. And of course, there was the Galactic Lottery drawing, which was to take place on Earth's New Year's Day, after five years of selling tickets on three worlds-the grand prize being a state-of-the-art starship. Were Peter's dreams about to come true? But he wasn't the only one with their eyes on the starship. The syndicate operated out of the massive Gateway space station under the very noses of Earth's Space Rangers. With their evil grips around the throats of key station personnel, they were able to hide their operation and carry out their criminal plans unabated. Felix Sandoval owed the syndicate big-time and was about to do something he may live to regret. Along with the starship prize came a trip to Earth, Peter's ancestral home world. One way or another, Peter's dreams were about to come true. Setting foot on another planet, the freedom of space . . . but dreams sometimes turn into nightmares. Luck turns bad, villains ruin plans, and of course, the chaos of space travel. The void is unforgiving. In his travels, he learns the answer to one of mankind's burning questions, one that had been asked for millennia and would change the course of mankind forever. Are we alone? If only he could survive being, Lost Between Stars.
