Publisher's summary

Cadet Bastien Devereaux is a 13-year-old doctor's apprentice who finds himself unexpectedly torn out of cryogenic hibernation. The ship's air is foul and poisoned. His fellow cadets remain asleep. The adult crew is missing. The Grace O'Malley looks as if she's barely survived the fight of her life.

With no assurances of rescue and an unexplainable mystery on his hands, Bastien is thrust down a path where his life, and the lives of his fellow sleeping cadets, may soon be snuffed out in the void between the stars. With danger in the darkness of space, Bastien must lead the efforts to repair the ship while guarding against the pressures of trauma-induced anxiety and the fear of failing those who now look to him for leadership. And if he succeeds? The doctor's apprentice must still unravel the secrets behind their strange predicament, determine how to keep everyone safe, and plot a course towards a home that may be much farther away than initially believed.

For avid science fiction fans and young listeners who yearn for thought-provoking galactic adventure, The Horizon Of Hope pulls inspiration from Roddenberry's Star Trek, Lowell's Trader Tales, and Weber's Honorverse while telling the story of a young man trying to find the inner strength to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges.

Definitely youthful!

This book is perfect for our younger sci-fi friends, and a good clean story for us all! I found the character driven story compelling and of course rooted for the young people all the way to the end. As the story continues I look forward to even stronger character development, and some greater conflict interest as well as action.

Wonderful first novel

The Horizon of Hope is the first in what I hope will become a series. The story opens with a cadet waking on a damaged spaceship with no idea where the ship is or how it got that way. The adult crew are missing, the ship is heavily damaged and only the sleeping cadets can save themselves. Very exciting, plenty of mystery and I hope a sequel soon to follow.
