Opis

"Centauri Wars" is a spell-binding science-fiction adventure novel about our near future involving alien conflicts among Earth's society and its near neighbors in space, the Alpha Centauri system and a technologically advanced culture in the Hyades star system, about 150 light-years away, known as the Kaelono. All are vying for resources that permit faster-than-light travel to give them dominance over our sector of the Milky Way Galaxy. One such resource, Psylobe, has been found uniquely in the Alpha Centauri system, and permits certain alien-human Hybrids to distort spacetime, allowing hyperlight travel through quantum hyperspace. However, the indigenous population on Alpha Centauri has their own ideas about how their resources should be utilized and has planned a counter-attack. Our Solar System is caught in the middle of this deadly power game among mighty alien cultures. And who will take riches hidden in our Asteroid Belt? Dr. Cormier, has has drawn from his years of experience as a physician, writer and former NASA engineer to craft a science-fiction adventure in the spirit of Asimov, Clark, Heinlein and Herbert. Educated at MIT, he has worked with various cutting-edge technologies over many years, and has woven the latest developments in vacuum energy, zero-point energy propulsion and nanotechnology into a spell-binding tale combining the best in hard science-fiction, adventure and drama. For the first time anywhere, he has introduced in "Centauri Wars" the powerful forces of Dark Energy forming the basis of the "Corcas-drive" technology that may ultimately propel us to the stars. By contrast, atomic energy is as meager as a candle flame when compared to the colossal powers locked within the zero-point energy and its related yet mysterious Dark Energy. The Alpha Centaurians hold the key to harnessing these almost limitless energy reservoirs, and both Terran and Malthakosan governments are willing to wage a brutal war to gain control over this power. The fate of interstellar civilizations for the next 10,000 years hangs in the balance. As predicted in Centauri Wars, the age-old rivals of the Anunnaki are members of the Centauri culture whose battles have been chronicled in ancient Hindu and Sumerian texts. Now the human race has joined the war over resources in the Centauri system, and rights to exploit valuable minerals within our own Solar System as well. So settle back, fasten your space-harness, and hang on for a spine-tingling science-fiction adventure, in the best tradition of science fiction, on a wild ride into our near-future and that of our interstellar neighbors, as you travel through time and hyperspace in "Centauri Wars." And don't miss these exciting sequels coming soon --- "Centauri Wars: The Secret Weapon and Treasure of the Asteroid Pirates."
