Olivet, MI Author Publishes New Book

November 25, 2011 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
The science fiction novella Oblivion is a study of technological dilemmas and psychological challenges a crew undertaking an intergalactic space flight would encounter.

Leaving the earth in the spacecraft Sapiens, the three men and three women aboard know that given the limitations imposed by the theory of relativity – namely something cannot travel faster than light – everyone and everything they had known back on earth will be gone by the time their ship reaches its destination: a mystery planet on the other side of the universe.

This book is about the emotional conflict each crewmember must deal with in his or her own way, balancing the hope of a new life on an untouched world knowing that everything from the life before will be no more. Along the way, the crew experiences anticipation, fear, desire, and despair, coming to realize they have embarked on something far beyond what they first thought.

In Oblivion, readers will find a science fiction story written for those who read for the love of human characters, and where the technology serves as a backdrop for the characters.

Oblivion is an 82-page paperback with a retail price of $6.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4349-8740-2. It was published by RoseDog Books of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
