Synopsis

Ed Teach buried his dogs. Then his wife.

Retirement was supposed to be quiet. Instead, it tasted like ash in an empty house on the edge of nowhere.

But Ed's old life wasn't done with him. His poker buddies—men who weren't exactly from around here—peeled off their faces, handed him a badge, and pointed south. Boca Chica. SpaceX. One last mission.

With nothing left to lose and a death wish riding shotgun, Ed rolls in towing an Airstream, ready for whatever Elon Musk throws his way. Acting CEO while the boss handles D.C.? Sure. Orbiting fuel tankers? Fine.

But when rival aliens target the launch pad and a Yellowstone super-volcano ticks toward global Armageddon in 2040, Ed discovers the real job: a desperate, unauthorized gamble to save humanity—one that could strand him millions of miles from home.

Alone against the void, an old spook with a badge and a Starship must decide how far he'll go to beat the clock.

Some men die in bed. Ed Teach would rather die fighting—for a future on the red planet that might never come.

Fans of The Martian and Project Hail Mary will love this gritty, high-stakes tale of survival, ingenuity, and one man's rogue shot at Mars.

À propos de l?auteur

Born in Brooklyn's vibrant streets and shaped by sun-drenched summers in Mastic Beach, Long Island, I've always pursued bold adventures. After college, I was commissioned a Marine Corps officer, aced Naval Flight School, and served in California, Okinawa, Japan, and Korea-piloting missions from Navy ships, transforming dreams into thrilling realities.Following a distinguished decade in uniform, I pivoted to entrepreneurship, applying military precision to build successful ventures. Recently, on my patio, I wrote Echoes from Another World and Blackbeard's Last Flight, while smoking cigars and sipping on Scotch, polishing both meticulously before release.If these pages give you even a flicker of the wonder they gave me while writing them, if you heard a whisper that the next adventure is already out there, then I've accomplished my mission to entertain you.
