Synopsis

Book One in the Fractured Galaxy near-future hard science fiction trilogy, Random Walk is the story of three U.S. Air Force Space Command astronauts: Colonel Derek Williams, a mild-mannered, experienced space traveler; Captain Jacob Mendez, the ship's playful navigator; and civilian Vicky Abrams, an introverted civilian accelerator physicist who joined the crew late.

Together, the diverse military crew sets out to test a new propulsion system that will significantly shorten future trips to Mars. When the system malfunctions, the spacecraft is unexpectedly flung out of our solar system. The crew, cut off from Earth with no faster-than-light capabilities, has to set aside their differences and work together to survive without help from Ground Control. While their colleagues on Earth scramble to figure out what happened to them, Derek, Jacob and Vicky must find solutions that don't exist to a situation that shouldn't be possible.

From the Back Cover

Three Astronauts. One Impossible Journey.
Derek Williams, Jacob Mendez, and Vicky Abrams have trained for years to helm the first manned spaceflight launched by US Air Force Space Command. The Pioneer's mission is simple - test the experimental new Hawking Engine, designed to take them to Mars faster than any manned craft has traveled before. But when the engine reaches full capacity, the craft unexpectedly hurtles into the unknown.

With power levels falling and communications offline, the crew must face the unbelievable truth - The Pioneer is lightyears from Earth in uncharted space.

Far from the safety of their simulators and support from Ground Control, Derek, Jacob, and Vicky are challenged to the end of their abilities to keep the ship safe - and survive long enough to find a way home.
