The year is 2452 and naturally occurring wormholes have been discovered. An expedition to colonize the third planet in the Carina system has been mounted. A settlement is established on the planet and a space elevator constructed. Colonists are coming from Earth, and a naval fleet has arrived in the system.
But humans aren't the only species interested in Carina 3. A race of insectoid aliens arrives through the wormhole and attempts to destroy the colony. It becomes a monumental war as the two species fight for the same territory.
I attempted to write this novel in the style of Larry Niven or Jerry Pournelle in that everything, with the exception of the wormholes, is true to what is possible in known physics. For example, in order to move through space you must project mass in the opposite direction--Newtonian physics. I also wanted a completely new plot line never before done. Many writers shy away from a full blown battle in space but I took that on as well. You may judge how well I managed these attempts.
This is the first of at least three novels. The next installment is titled "The Other Side of Tomorrow" and is in its last stages before publication. My goal is to entertain, and sell books of course.
