Synopsis

Nita’s father and brother weren’t dead, but technically, they weren’t alive either. Amelia was still screaming when the Nomad station wagon plowed to a stop in the deep yellow sand. Two large moons hovered near the horizon in front of them as the sun went down on the mountains behind. To get back to Joules' home planet, Gafcon-49, they would have to figure out how to fix the Jump Starter. Blackie didn't want to alarm the others, but he suspected they were being followed. Nita was shocked to discover she had been misled about the death of her father and brother, and she intended to do something about it. Mark, Blackie, Wayne, Joules, and Amelia insisted they were going with her. Unknown to them, a centuries-old dispute raged throughout the universe and before long they not only knew about it, they were right in the middle of it. Every bit of their intelligence and luck would be needed if they were to survive. Wayne was sure something weird was about to happen - again - and it did. When things spiraled out of control, Mark and Nita had to make a difficult choice. Afterward, they would all wonder if they made the right decision.

À propos de l'auteur

John David Buchanan grew up in San Antonio, Texas watching science fiction cartoons on television and acting out adventures in his backyard. At the age of 8 he published a small comic strip that he and his cousin briefly marketed to their neighborhood. By middle school he had his first set of drums and a band. In high school he played sports, joined another band, and watched all the science fiction programming available on television. John David went to college and it was there that he discovered creative writing. Six years later he graduated with a Masters in Science and began his career as an environmental specialist. After working for a state agency and two consulting companies he started his own company - Buchanan Environmental Associates. To address his love of music he joined a Pink Floyd cover band - Anybody Out There? - and began writing lyrics for a solo CD. When his young daughter began reading a series of fiction books he read them with her, and that ignited his desire to write his own science fiction book. Jump Starting the Universe was the first book of what has become a three book series.
