Autor Michael Waller
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 aug 2018
Reader's Favorite Gold Medal Winner 2019 B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree 2019 Chill With A Book Premier Award 2019 Joe Falcon has a problem. He's bored. He needs a new purpose, and a new adventure. When an unidentified vessel appears beyond Jupiter, both Earth and Mars begin a frantic race to claim it, aware that whichever planet succeeds might in so doing achieve advantage over the other. But who should they send? Joe would never consider himself the 'right' person. Drifting around the Asteroid Belt in a converted freighter, working as a surveyor and miner with a crew of oddballs and misfits who, like himself, are running away each from his or her own private demons, he cannot think of a single good reason why he should be the chosen one. But how could he not go? When the surveyor Butterball rendezvous with the Visitor, Joe discovers a ship so immense, exploring its thousands of square kilometers of decks is unrealistic. As the alien vessel responds to his presence in wondrous yet frightening ways, not a trace of its inhabitants can be found. Virtually everything Joe and his team sees defies explanation, and little is what it appears to be. Joe soon realizes he and his crew are expendable and cannot take anything or anyone at face value, including the alien ship's owners. And all the time, the crew is being watched and studied. Then humanity learns that this wondrous spacecraft is not their real problem. Never would Joe have imagined it would fall to him to make the decision that would alter the destiny of two worlds, launching humankind onto the path to a glorious future, or to extinction. Falcon's Call is an action packed dive into the unknown, written in the style of the great, classic, science-fiction stories. If you like surprising plot twists, compelling characters and a hero who actually cares, you must read this new novel by Mike Waller. Pick up your copy of Falcon's Call today, and let your imagination carry you on Joe Falcon's voyage.

He soon learns he is dispensable, and the Visitors are watching him.

Notă biografică

Mike Waller is an award winning author who, during his life, has been many things, ranging from public servant to computer programmer to boat designer, and has now decided to do that for which he has a great passion.
