Short description

The crew of a small research ship are witnessing the premature death of a small star, similar in size to Sol. They watch as several ships attempt to escape one of the planets in orbit of that star. Most of the creatures are killed by their inadequate space craft until one better built manages to escape their home world safely.

Extended description

This is the original which I have not edited. It is work in progress and one day I will find time to turn it into something.

I have plans for more of the storyline to follow but that will have to wait until I have more time to write it.

This was what I wrote in the 30 days of November 2011.

Review by: Frank Aaker on April 25, 2013 :
Hmm. I'm trying to think of something positive to say about this book, but it's not easy. To give it credit, I did struggle through to the end, but only just. And when I did reach the final page, the story ended so abruptly I wondered if the last chapter or two were missing.
I'm sure Jake Fox had fun writing this book, a story lingers in there somewhere, but this edition is not ready for publishing. It must surely be a first draft as it seems he hasn’t devoted any time to the all important editing and proofreading stages.
Sorry, not good enough.
