-A Science Fiction Trilogy- Part One
As our World rolls around the corner of the Twenty First Century, computer technology and efficient fuels run a parallel race toward commanding the future. All of this begins to seem insignificant when Major Jared Flemming is brought into a World crisis concerning overwhelming developments on the Planet CR 412 LZ10. LZ10, which mines the purest Silicon in the Milky Way, is home to The Tahoe Mining Company whose personnel have discovered an uncharted, unknown power source four thousand feet down in the tunnels of the Tahoe Mine.
LZ10 is two years from Earth and The Tahoe Mining Company had just broadcast a distress signal of four letters. H.E.L.P. This is The Tahoe Signal.
Jared has been brought on board to uncover why there are unexplained explosions, many deaths and missing ore crystals from a security tight deep-space mining operation which is monitored constantly by the Intelligence Organization of the Free Federation.
This fast paced adventure sees Jared both coming and going to LZ10 as time is turned backward and forward. This visual account of present and past time is played out against the larger backdrop of what happens after Jared and his crew land on LZ10 to begin their investigation. Their story pushes forward toward the discovery of a fantastic power held deep within the planet and only brought to life by the mining companys own deep tunnel operation.
The end of Part One is also the beginning of Part One and shows Jared as an emissary from the Planet LZ10 to Jareds own world, Earth. This is an action/adventure story which follows a mission crew that discovers mysteries, which will change time and space as we know them.
