"The Centauri Intervention," by David Michaelson. ISBN
978-1-98276-034-5 (softcover) 308 pages, $14.95.
Out of control human population and a depleted Earth
has created a need to seek another planet to colonize. The
trip to Alpha Centauri in the starship PEGASUS will take
20,000 years. Near the end of the long journey, the aliens
(Odeons) finally make their appearance. We are now in
their backyard. The two species cannot communicate in any
way, resulting in a tenuous warlike situation between
starships. Two unlikely young heroes emerge—one human, the
other Odeon. Together they take clandestine steps to
recreate an ancient dialogue technique in the hope of
establishing meaningful communications.
To make matters worse, the humans suffer from
catastrophic cryogenic failure, losing many of their
brightest minds. When morality wanes, The Church Of The
Eternal Insight, led by the Good Vidhali, sets the
standards of behavior for the surviving humans, as the
final leg of their journey brings unprecedented grief and
sadness.
