New Frontier: Gods Above

Beschreibung

Captain Mackenzie Calhoun has often been accused of playing God, but he has never faced off against real gods—until now. As Captain Kirk did before him, Calhoun has encountered beings of unnatural power and abilities verging on godhood, and who claim to be the very individuals who inspired the Greek, Roman, Norse, and, other pantheons from Earth culture. These beings say that all they want is our worship, and in return for it will provide us with a peaceful galaxy-wide paradise of perfect health and endless pleasure. When the Federation, in the person of Captain Calhoun and the crew of the U.S.S. Excalibur, refused their offer, the resulting battle left Morgan Primus dead and Lieutenant Mark McHenry, whose own powers over time and space had proved to be substantial, in a limbo beyond death. Now, with a wounded ship and an injured crew, Captain Calhoun, along with Captain Shelby and the crew of the Trident, must face these god-like beings once again, with the fate of galactic civilization at stake.

Autor

Peter David is the pen name for Peter Hartog. Peter Hartog is definitely not the pen name for anyone else. Regardless, both Peters despise talking about themselves in the third person. So, I guess I won't. I was born in Massachusetts, raised by MTV, the A-Team, Star Trek, Star Wars, action figures, comic books, D&D, classic heroic fantasy, and Saturday morning cartoons. Then I moved to Georgia much later in life. Because the Deep South apparently needs northerners like me. (No, they actually don't.) When I'm not writing, I'm working. Ok, that's not entirely true. But mostly, it IS true. In-between that, I get run over by our cats Max, Leo, and Zoey, or Ollie, our big, goofy, fluffy golden retriever. I use "our" because I'm the proud father of two teenagers, and the equally proud husband to a most-of-the-time loving wife who possesses an infinite amount of patience. I say "most-of-the-time" because there are some days when she doesn't like me very much...usually because of something that I said or did...which is probably true. I'm also the author of the ongoing urban science fantasy crime thriller series (say that 10 times fast...because I can't), The Guardian of Empire City. You can find both books on Amazon. Thank you for reading Buddy the Knight and The Queen of Sorrow. For more Buddy and other writerly content, please visit my website at peterhartog.com.
