Synopsis

Up to speed on Hubble Space? As the power grid disappears, two precocious, naïve orphan teens—a boy and girl--risk a one-way trip to an exoplanet of identical humans and discover a low-tech world, a new language, each other, and their own mortality. 125,000 words, 15 illustrations, PG, for tweens to septuagenarians. Evangelical. Readable and shareable aloud or by candlelight. In The Blood of Three Worlds, survival without electricity is about to be brutally challenged. Invasion is hours away. God-believing rural locals see that even with Bibles and guns they may not escape great suffering. Terrible choices lie ahead. "We must do what's right and prepare to be martyrs if necessary," the Rev. Dr. Jonas Harwell had declared. "Much more lies ahead than just life on Earth." However, there's a great secret in the new Pennsylvania Susquehanna Territory, to which Harwell, who refuses to leave his congregation, unbelievably, has a key. Hidden away is the untested "Space Goose," as it's jokingly called, that only three or four people could use to not only escape local terror, but to attempt an impossible one-way trip to a newly discovered exoplanet that may be reaching out for help. This must happen at once for the small untested spaceship is about to be discovered and destroyed. And Harwell, formerly an astrophysicist, can pull the trigger for its escape into space. But who would allow, and accept, such a risk? Three very unlikely persons, one a gifted young pilot. And they must leave quickly. Forever.
