Descripción editorial
Special Olympics Ontario award-winning golf and powerlifting volunteer, Richard Walker, uses his talents to write his first book to raise money for Special Olympics. Special Olympics, a registered charity, is committed to enriching the lives of people with intellectual disabilities through sport. It is the athlete oath, “Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt” that has inspired Richard to write this book. It’s about all of us focusing on the abilities that people are blessed with and not the disability.
The book is a work of fiction, intended for teens and young adult audiences. It is near the end of the 21st century and Earth’s non-renewable resources are rapidly dwindling. Earth has already sent expeditions to Mars and Venus. Listening posts on Earth have received undecipherable communications from deep space from Jupiter and/or its moons. Unmanned probes have detected potential icy shards on the surface of Jupiter’s moon, Callisto. Join Expedition Commander Haley Hilstrom, the crews and mission specialists of the star cruisers, Pegasus and the McCain along with their supply ships, the Luke and the Hudson, as they embark on their 400-million-mile journey to find urgently needed resources for Earth and to answer the question, “Are we alone in the Universe?”
