Synopsis

An outstanding fusion of visionary writing and electrifying dialogue, full of energy, Astrocity Sagan is J.P. Osterman’s latest masterpiece of future space-travel fiction. In this epic third book in the Nelta series, Dr. Elisa Holton has blood running in her veins that has been modified with highly advanced alien genetic gifts... Astrocity Sagan After traveling for 100 years across the universe onboard the enormous Astrocity, Elisa Holton and 100,000 of Earth’s leading scientists, doctors, researchers, and artists are just six weeks away from arriving at the planet Nelta. The ancient Neltans have existed for millions of years longer than humanity and are thought to be at least a Kardashev level V civilization. Yet they need our help. During the long journey, rumors and doubts about living among the Neltans abound. Thornton Manning, a Sagan leader, is fueling fear. He’s been experimenting with technology since day one of receiving it from the Neltans. Will the neural interface invention now backfire on him? As they approach Nelta, many are experiencing weird and strange visions, scaring a large portion of the population half to death. But what really is causing these unusual attacks. If left unsolved, their long voyage could end in an eternal drift through space! The ship’s ruling class, The Regents, could be to blame, or possibly the new Two-Seventy-Three protest group? Or maybe it’s an outside alien influence? Drawing on the multitude of her genetic gifts, Elisa launches a covert investigation to break barriers and discover the truth.
