About this ebook
The Starship Pathfinder had a mission, to find a new world for a Human colony. At first, Captain Eric Maddwell was alone on his journey. His search had lasted almost two and a half years and had turned up dead planets or useless gas giants. His discovery of a drifting alien ship almost identical to his own began a mystery and a quest that could save mankind.
Joined by three other ships and aided by the alien computer Astangii, Erik discovers that three separate species in this arm of the galaxy have been at war for over ten thousand years. The war isn't over and Earth is in danger of being drawn into the conflict. Even so, the political pressure from Earth sends out colony ships carrying twenty thousand people to join Pathfinder, even before a safe haven is located.
With the air running thin on the colony ships and the only available planet in range guarded by the Catroph, the only way to save the colonists is to fight.
R J Murray
R J Murray was born on a small farm in central Kentucky in the early fifties. Growing up in the country gave him a love of nature and a dislike of shovelling manure, as well as the certain knowledge that goats were smarter than dogs and cows were dumber than rocks.After moving to Florida with his family, he returned to Kentucky each summer with his siblings and first heard about organic gardening as a teenager. Manure finally had a purpose. Winters were spent attending school on Florida's east coast and he returned to Kentucky after graduating from High School in 1969, where he got a job flipping burgers while he attended the local branch of the University of Kentucky. His free time was spent reading Science Fiction from the Golden Age, hunting, fishing and gardening. Hobbies have included history, spelunking, geology, as well as many different home crafts such as cross stitch, leather work, making mail armour and baking. At age fifty-nine, he accepted a challenge from his wife. (With your wild imagination, it should be easy for you.)He wrote his first novel in fifty eight days, changed the title many times, and ended up with a manuscript of two thousand pages which eventually became the first books in the series, Tales of the Triad.
