Synopsis

It is outrageous! A tiny moon, Ganymede, with no military to speak of is holding all the other planets of the Sol system hostage. The other planets of the system are impotent to do anything because Ganymede controls the cradles from which all support for the new colonies on Proxima Centauri must begin. No one saw this coming and frustrations and accusations are flying. One tiny ray of hope that appears is the unexpected capture of an experimental Ganymedean ship. With only 5 days before capitulation could this provide a way around or out of the problem? Could this ship give a way to get supplies to the colonies before they starve? Come along as a scratch crew tries this strange and weird craft.

Author Bio

Over a writing career that spanned three decades, PHILIP K. DICK (1928–1982) published 36 science fiction novels and 121 short stories in which he explored the essence of what makes man human and the dangers of centralized power. Toward the end of his life, his work turned to deeply personal, metaphysical questions concerning the nature of God. Eleven novels and short stories have been adapted to film, notably Blade Runner (based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), Total Recall, Minority Report, and A Scanner Darkly, as well as television's The Man in the High Castle. The recipient of critical acclaim and numerous awards throughout his career, including the Hugo and John W. Campbell awards, Dick was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2005, and between 2007 and 2009, the Library of America published a selection of his novels in three volumes. His work has been translated into more than twenty-five languages.
