What if 

– Carbon Nano-Tube materials, 

Orders of magnitude stronger than steel, allowed space stations to be constructed over a kilometer in diameter and many kilometers in length 

AND What if 

– 100’s of thousands of people lived on them? 

AND What if 

– One of them wasn’t from this solar system?

Inner Space Dock Entrance for Issac Asimov Six, Fomalhaut

Imagine            A future drawn from the inspiration of the classic rotating Gerald K. O’Neil cylindrical wheel. Permanently inhabited space colonies created from multiple wheels, each a kilometer long, and kilometers wide, orbiting the planets. 

Electric Drive    Replaces contemporary expelled propellants, making trips between planets with constant acceleration and deceleration, taking not years, but days.

The Stars           Come within our reach. Colonization ships are sent, but are thought to fail. Alex E. Gannon comes from one of those ships. He is the only one who knows the truth of what happened, and he stays silent, saying nothing of what they found among the stars. 

Book 1: The Prophet of Fomalhaut

Twenty-Three lightyears away,
there is a place we have been: GJ-667C

Sol Will Never Be the Same

Above: Gliese 667C, Red Dwarf in Trinary Star System, with Ten Planets all within 1 AU of the sun; Right: Sol Star System Propagated to the Year 2468 AD

Alex E. Gannon is an infotech specialist: he finds information, and you don’t ask how. He makes enemies wherever he goes, and the Intra-Sol Federation ties to arrest him whenever they can. In this story, he is plucked from the midst of his own trouble and dragged to inhabited station IA-6—Fomalhaut—to find an alleged prophetess who proclaimed the doom of the station and disappeared. Who believes prophets in the 25th century? Powerful officials do, because her last two prophecies came fatally true.

Gannon is dumped into the hands of Lieutenant Ladna Moderica, a liaison between Intra-Sol and Fomalhaut, who does not have time to watch an infotech specialist—or a mercenary, probably, if she could ever get a look at his secret file—between her day job and rocket ball. But she thinks she’s in control. She doesn’t know just how many secrets Alex has, or that some are catching up to him.

Can they work together and find the prophet before mysterious forces destroy Fomalhaut?
