- More about Saving Proxima
In 2072, a radio broadcast in an unknown language from Proxima Centauri is detected at a lunar farside radio observatory. Earth debates sending a ship to aid the Proximans, facing an extinction-level disaster. The journey will test humans' understanding of Einsteins Special Relativity and their place in the universe.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 464 pages
Publication date: 26 July 2022
Publisher: Baen Books
The year is 2072, and at the lunar farside radio observatory, an old-school radio broadcast is detected, similar to those broadcast on Earth in the 1940s, but in an unknown language, coming from an impossible source and originating at an equally impossible location—Proxima Centauri. While the nations of Earth debate making first contact, they learn that the Proximans are facing an extinction-level disaster, forcing a decision: will Earth send a ship on a multiyear trip to provide aid?
Interstellar travel is not easy, and by traveling at the speeds required to arrive before disaster strikes at Proxima, humans will learn firsthand the effects of Einstein's Special Relativity and be forced to ponder the ultimate questions: Are we alone in the universe? What does it mean to be human?
About Travis S. Taylor: "Travis S. Taylor explodes with inventive action." - Publishers Weekly on Travis S. Taylor's The Quantum Connection "[Warp Speed] reads like Doc Smith writing Robert Ludlum. You won't want to put it down." - John Ringo About Stellaris: People of the Stars, coedited by Les Johnson: "Stellaris: People of the Stars is a thought-provoking look at a selection of real-world challenges and speculative fiction solutions. Readers will enjoy this collection that is as educational as it is entertaining." - Booklist "This was an enjoyable collection of science fiction dealing with colonizing the stars. In the collection were several gems, and the overall quality was high." - Tangent
About Mission to Methone by Les Johnson: "The spirit of Arthur C. Clarke and his contemporaries is alive and well in Johnson's old-fashioned first-contact novel, set in 2068. The novel includes plenty of realistic detail and puts fun new spins on familiar alien concepts. There's a great deal here for fans of early hard SF." - Pu.
