Forbidden The Stars - a novel by Valmore Daniels

July 31, 2010 - PRLog -- When Valmore Daniels watched the Space Shuttle Columbia's maiden voyage into space, his first thought was, How would a teenager, such as himself, get on one of those flights? Simple, hijack the shuttle! And with that kernel of a story, he began to plot out Forbidden The Stars, an epic science fiction journey from the Space Age to Earth's next era - the Interstellar Age.

The race for Interstellar Space is on!

Book Description:

At the end of the 21st Century, a catastrophic accident in the asteroid belt has left two surveyors dead, but the asteroid itself is completely missing, along with their young son, Alex Manez, who was accompanying them.

On the outer edge of the solar system, the first manned mission to Pluto, led by the youngest female astronaut in NASA history, has led to an historic discovery: there is a marker left there by an alien race for humankind to find. We are not alone!

While studying the alien marker, it begins to react and, four hours later, the missing asteroid appears in a Plutonian orbit, along with young Alex Manez, who has developed some alarming side-effects from his exposure to the kinetic element they call Kinemet.

From the depths of a criminal empire based on Luna, an expatriate seizes the opportunity to wrest control of outer space, and takes swift action.

The secret to faster-than-light speed is up for grabs, and the race for interstellar space is on!
