The Solar Sea
A science fiction novel by David Lee Summers
 |
Humans settled the Moon and satellites orbiting the Earth were a common sight, but
with the abolition of NASA, humans had no desire to go further and space
exploration died.
Then, a technician from the Very Large Array, a radio telescope in New Mexico,
discovers powerful particles orbiting Saturn's moon, Titan, which could be a
new energy source. Strangely enough, following the discovery's announcement,
whales around the Earth changed their songs overnight.
As scion of the powerful Quinn Corporation, Thomas Quinn builds a solar sail
to find the source of these particles in Titan's orbit. He gathers the best
and brightest team to pilot his craft: Jonathan Jefferson, an aging astronaut
known as the last man on Mars; Natalie Freeman, a distinguished Navy captain;
Myra Lee, a biologist specializing in whale communication; and John O'Connell,
the technician who first discovered the particles. All together they make a
grand tour of the solar system and discover not only wonders but dangers beyond
their imagination.

Drawing on his experience as an astronomer, David Lee Summers has created a
story that is both exciting and plausible, one that can be enjoyed by
both the young and young-at-heart who enjoy looking at the planets on a clear
night and dreaming of what could be.
