The Rhea Initiative Project T.R.I.P.
Bill’s life is shattered.
His successful business has made him immensely rich, but nothing can help with the pain of losing his family to gang violence.
His friends try to help. They tell him to take a vacation, away from everything, and give himself time to heal.
He listens, perhaps too well.
Bill decides to go to another planet. No one has ever done that, it’s something new and exciting, a long-term project he can dedicate his life to. However, he has no idea how to make the dream come true.
But he is resourceful and determined.
He attracts a team of people, capable and ambitious. People who only needed each other to make the dream of a manned interstellar voyage a reality.
Going to another planet is a difficult proposition, he expected that. What none of them expected was to be targeted by people opposing them at every turn.
Will Bill and his people make it to the stars?

Einstein’s Shadow Galactic Hauler
This routine trip could be their last.
When a garbled distress signal reaches the Einstein’s Shadow Galactic Hauler, the decision to respond falls to the First Officer, Margaret Griffin.
The captain will back her play, whatever she decides to do. Answer the call or pass it by. Galactic regulations say you have to stop and render aid, so they do. Galactic regulations are also explicit about salvage rights and a ship this deep in space will surely yield a lot of money.
The world they land on is cold, unforgiving, and lifeless. The derelict is not what they expected.
A castaway showing up was a surprise.
The aliens bent on their destruction and death was an even bigger surprise.
All their efforts to escape are defeated by the aliens, who get more vicious with each attack.
Will they make it? Will they be able to leave this place with their lives? Will their ship be just another wreckage on this lonely, cold, barren, unknown planet?
Join the adventure!

Will he be punished for a tragic accident? If it wasn’t an accident, then there is a killer on the loose in the ship. And the only one that knows this for sure is Zach.
Zach wanted excitement, he didn’t expect it would come in the form of murder.
