No great ball of flame erupts from StarDancer’s cryogenic tanks, and no white-hot flames engulf the cockpit. Just silence and a trail of debris, frozen fluids and vapor are all that’s left of Jeff and Jennifer Bindl’s attempt to travel faster than the speed of light.
Now, the four sons of the space travelers who lost their lives are thrust into the spotlight as the world’s only private space corporation investigates the accident to determine what went wrong and how the impossible feat might yet be achieved.
Alec, the oldest brother, must battle internal demons as he seeks to determine whether to join his brothers to pursue what their parents could never accomplish: FTL, or traveling faster than light. Ty and Orion, the twins in the middle, must assume positions of responsibility far earlier than anticipated. And the youngest, Zach, must show that his immense intellect can usher in a new era of creativity for space travel and world security.
But in order to accomplish mankind’s greatest achievement, the brothers must overcome a myriad of obstacles, danger and surprise as they seek their collective destiny in Mission to the Stars.

From the Author
This is the 2nd Edition release for Mission to the Stars: The Search for FTL. When I wrote Mission to the Stars back in 2009, it was my first novel. The story was good but I found after its release that it needed editing and I told myself that I would someday revisit the Bindl brothers first mission. I have since released the second in the series, Hostile Takeover and a collection of short stories, First Endeavors.
I kept thinking about what a better book The Search for FTL could be with some editing. So, with the help of my editor, we bring you a better book! I hope you will take the tine to read or reread and post a review! The third in the series, Arbitration, will be out in the spring of 2014.
For those that have a copy of the 1st edition, please keep it and look for me at events. I would love to chat with you and sign it!
