Synopsis

Commander Steve Strunk was raised on Mars. He helped build Smart domes and trained astronauts. With the aid of artificial intelligence, he believes he’s invincible. His co-commander, Elizabeth Beals is a genius who signed up for space exploration to put her past behind her. ISS Mars Headquarters labeled them the ideal team. Nothing is ideal forever… It’s 2376, and Steve and Elizabeth have been voyaging through space when their ship Amelia awakens them. “Where are we? The date and time has stopped tracking! Why?” Their infallible space craft suddenly fails! The perfect team suddenly falters! Nothing—no amount of training or simulated instruction—could have prepared them for this breach in their mission, and their neural interface to the ships A.I. computer ceases. Can they trust their own senses at this critical time when they need them the most? Vulnerable on an ancient planet and navigating blind at the far reaches of the known universe, their relationship is speeding on a passionate trajectory, and Steve and Elizabeth race with a rapidly closing window of time to fix a dooms-day force that will destroy the entire universe the… Cosmic Rift!

About the Author

ABOUT THE AUTHOR J.P. Osterman was born December 21, in East Chicago, Indiana. 

As a serious Science Fiction author focused on future space travel, J.P. Osterman became an Independent Research Scientist studying the laws that govern space and issues relating to space travel, exploration, and colonization of Mars and exoplanets.  In addition to the physics of long distance space travel, J.P. studied the necessary computational theories to control of the physics of space travel and extreme time/space compression: optical quantum computing, quantum communication, and AI Computer intelligence reaching well beyond the "Singularity," with organic, quantum-level, human neural interface and exchange (NIE).

J.P. Osterman was a reader and writer throughout her youth.  She graduated from University of San Diego with a B.A. in English (with an emphasis in writing) and later a Master's degree from Azusa Pacific University.  In the early 1990s, she met Ray Bradbury who inspired her to write science fiction.  "I felt that something strange and wonderful had happened to me because of my encounter with Mr. Bradbury, he gave me a future...I began to write every day."  
 

She has written seven novels, mostly science fiction: from exploring Mars, to spacefolding to an ancient alien world.  She has won several awards, including the prestigious Rupert Hughes Award at the seminal Maui Writers Conference for her sci-fi novel, The Matter Stream, which she is transforming into her Nelta Series of novels.  She won First Place for her play, The Man Next to Me that was subsequently published in the San Diego Writer's Monthly magazine.
