Synopsis

A wormhole’s signal. A galactic trap. Humanity’s last hope rests on a psychic father, his two gifted children, and a brave crew who believe light can overcome darkness.

In this sweeping space opera adventure, Flight to the Stars—the thrilling second installment of the Tim and Peggy Smith Space Adventure trilogy—picks up five years after Danger from Space. Earth is slowly healing from climate devastation and the aftermath of the AI War. NASA astrophysicists Tim and Peggy are raising their extraordinary twins, Ethan and Lila—two‑and‑a‑half‑year‑olds whose psychic abilities and uncanny wisdom hint at humanity’s next evolutionary leap.

But peace never lasts. When Tim hears a desperate distress call echoing from a wormhole beyond Saturn, President Eisenhower IV sends the family on a high‑stakes mission aboard the upgraded starship Horizon. What begins as an investigation soon becomes a race against time.

As old threats return and new enemies rise, Tim assembles the Horizon’s crew—trusted NASA colleagues, loyal friends, and Terra Novan allies. Their mission thrusts them into the heart of space exploration and colonization, where they uncover a looming danger that could ignite a galactic war and invasion capable of consuming every world in its path.

Blending the tension of a first contact alien invasion novel, the wonder of deep‑space discovery, and the high‑stakes suspense of an artificial intelligence sci‑fi thriller, Flight to the Stars delivers a powerful, character‑driven journey of love, sacrifice, and the boundless potential of the human mind. With fast‑paced action, emotional depth, and a richly developed universe, this is clean science fiction for adults and teens who crave adventure with heart.

The stars are calling—again.

Praise for Danger from Space, the first book in the Tim and Peggy Smith Space Adventure series:

Loved it!
"A two-mile-long ship. Psychic children. A new galactic threat. Flight to the Stars takes you on a journey across the solar system—and beyond.
"Young adults and adults will enjoy Flight to the Stars. It is void of questionable scenes and language as the mind wanders, picturing a two-mile-long spacecraft, zipping around the moon, Saturn, and outer space, fighting the enemy and saving more than Earth."
— Patti Kidd, Reedsy

Jay B. Greene makes me green with envy
"Another masterful sci-fi from my old colleague at Crain's Detroit Business. From star healthcare reporter to star fiction author, his characters are doing fierce battle in space, rocketing through wormholes, lots of death and destruction and cool ESP at work. This is book two of a trilogy. Can't wait for book three!!
