Publisher's summary
The band of Earthlings soon discovers that the physics of space travel affects both time and space. Days on the ship equivocate to years on Earth, and this eventually splits the group into two factions fighting for control as they journey into deep space.
Jake and his wife, Beth, divide their time between maintaining peace among travelers and solving the constantly arising new problems of space travel. Meanwhile, they try to keep their own family together.
As the ship voyages into deep space, it travels from planet to planet, searching for the answer to the question, are we alone? Ship Voyage is a book about the very nature of human evolution beyond the bounds of Earth. It addresses the physical and mental challenges humans might face as they explore planets hundreds of light-years from Earth.

It was a quiet day in Paradise, Iowa, or at least Sheriff Sam Preston thought so as he drank his morning coffee. First, the power goes out, then a prehistoric animal kills a local man at the edge of town. Problems escalate with no GPS, a loss of all communication, and all roads into Paradise are cut off by heavy forest. When he realizes that the problems border on the side of science fiction, he assembles a hodge-podge team of scientists to figure out why it appears that the small Iowa town is the only human habitation on Earth. You are probably wondering how there can be a Ship Book Six ...

But there was an alien civilization out there, in fact, many of them linked together in a Web of Worlds. They were watching us quietly, carefully and patiently. It had long been the prime directive of the Web that no ...
