Outward Borne

OUTWARD BORNE is hard science fiction saga of the only successful ‘manned' interstellar voyage to ever occur within our galaxy. This full-length novel of extraterrestrial life honors the constraints of physical and biological sciences to describe a millennial mission of planetary exploration and alien abduction. No star was ever seen from the perpetually foggy surface of ObLa, but in time the ObLaDas discovered the universe, contacted other planets, and pursued a mission to discover why so few advanced civilizations still exist. Finally, Earth, in the depths of the dark ages, a robotic ship descends on a remote village taking away its people and their codependent dogs. The People survive for centuries, through captivity, revolts, and plagues, until the unthinkable, some of them will be returned to Earth. One is given a gift and a burden. Earth is following the same path toward self-destruction that has destroyed many technologically advanced alien civilizations. Can it be stopped?
