The Atlas Project
In a blizzard and freezing to death, Elena crawls into a flying saucer that shouldn’t exist but does. She convinces the pilot to let her stay and ends up at a super-secret, remotely hidden facility where she learns about the Atlas Project and the unknown men and women who are the guardians of the solar system.
She joins this elite squad and soon goes on patrol with the very man who didn’t want her in his craft. The man she’s foolishly in love with.
Is she a fool to risk her life fulfilling a dream that didn’t exist until that fateful day? In the vast reaches of space where danger is everywhere, and something always goes wrong will she find the adventure and love she seeks? Or will she lose everything?

About the author
Florence Witkop
49 books39 followersFlorence's stories begin as simple tales of contemporary life, often in small towns or the wilderness she knows so well. Where they go from there is what makes them special. There is always a strong sense of place. Often they skew reality slightly by crossing genres to contain paranormal, sci/fi, or fantasy elements. There is usually a romance and there are always characters her readers like and would enjoy having as friends.
Most of all, there is a story because what Florence does best is tell stories. Well plotted stories that carry the characters towards a logical conclusion that always includes a happy ending. Stories that shine light on the human condition while they celebrate the world we live in. Stories that her readers relate to and remember long after the reading is over.
She writes about people who are as normal as apple pie (most of them, anyway) who unexpectedly find themselves in the middle of situations ranging from the heartwarming through the difficult and all the way to the horrendous. But Florence's characters choose to act instead of running away. In the process, they survive, thrive, overcome whatever obstacles large or small are thrown in front of them, and while they are at it, they find time to fall in love.
Florence was born in the city and has lived in the suburbs, small towns, the country and the wilderness, where she still lives with her husband and a cowardly cat named Smoke.
At various times in her career she's been a confession writer, a copywriter, a ghost writer and an editor. She writes short stories, novellas and novels. Her work has been categorized as romance, science-fiction, fantasy, mainstream and eco-fiction, to name a few genres that it fits beautifully into.

You know when books (annoyingly) don't actually start the plot until about 103 pages in? If you're like me and dislike books like that, you are in luck with the Atlas Project! The Atlas Project starts immediately with the action and has no waiting for the plot to kick up(!) It follows Elana as she becomes part of and goes to space for the Atlas Project (an elite and top-secret group that protects the Earth). It also follows her as she simultaneously falls in love with Jack, the man who recruited her for the Atlas Project.
This book is perfect for:
✅ If you're in the mood for a light, easy read.
✅ If you love sci-fi.
✅ If you need to escape into a non-stressful book.
✅ If you like Guardians of the Galaxy vibes.
I very much enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. The two complaints that I do have is that there were a couple of grammatical errors (although this may be because I received an ARC copy) and that the plot was kind of thready.

Enjoyable romantic sci fi adventure
The worldbuilding is interesting, the characters are fun, and the romance is believable. The book is a definite change from the doom and destruction of most science fiction books. The Atlas Project has some thrills and some danger, but it's really just a fun read.

Interesting read

Going into the story, I didn’t know what to expect. But I found the interactions of Elena and Jack to be pleasant, especially near those those very unique vehicles of the Atlas Project. It was a good read.
