Book Description
Dick and shipmates were cast into an open lifeboat, sailing or drifting for 32 days, running out of food and with only enough water to stay alive. Striving to reach the west coast of Australia, they were hampered by wrong information, faulty flares and confusion. Under the hot Indian Ocean sun, he remained focused, often recalling his Los Angeles childhood before the war. After weeks afloat and putting 12 hundred miles behind them they could not be sure the rescue submarine was friend or foe.

Galactic Passages
Author: ,Dean
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1640794034
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
This is a science fiction adventure about how progressive hunger for wealth and power within a society [Planet Raihan] have resulted in duping other planets into mining valuable ore for them amidst the orbital hazards of Planet 6333. They have severely hurt other cultures along the way; raising themselves galactic prominence through manipulation of the relationship between a planet loaded with valuable ore, and a dimensional portal caught in a gravitational tug-of-war between two suns. From the beginning, remote miners are steadily shut off from communicating with their home planet through Raihan manipulation from a secret base located on a nearby moon; eventually feeling neglected and alone just as Planet 6333 enters the dangerous portal zone in the midst of its orbit. The victims ultimately see the Raihans as rescuers rather than kidnappers when they come in the midst of planetary chaos to steal the ore and take them as hostages. When examined closer, the Raihan culture is a paper tiger, dissolving from the inside out due to their evil ways. Circumstances arise that allow two smaller planetary forces [the Trecons and Ryderson-Omegans] to band together and challenge the Raihan goliath; but they can't do it alone. The story ends with a surprising twist, and points toward future adventures!
