Voyage of No return:

by Frank J. Cavill

AN ASTEROID HAS CRASHED INTO THE MOON, AND ITS FRAGMENTS ARE THREATENING TO DESTROY LIFE AS WE KNOW IT.

The only hope for mankind is Project Orpheus, an unprecedented initiative on the part of the allied
governments to enable human life to continue on Kepler-442b, a planet over a thousand light years from
Earth.

Two spaceships are under construction, which will leave for that remote solar system with a specialized crew to
terraform the planet and make it habitable. Steven Rhodes, the director of Project Orpheus, will travel in the first of
them. His daughter Emily, a specialist technician in Artificial Intelligence, will follow on the second ship, five years later.

However, the journey will be full of dangers which the ship's crew will have to confront.

WILL EMILY BE ABLE TO JOIN HER FATHER AND BEGIN A NEW LIFE AT THE OTHER END OF THE UNIVERSE? WILL MANKIND BE GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE FAR AWAY FROM THE EARTH?

¡Science fiction at its best!

¡Live an amazing journey!

This is a great read for sci-fi lovers. I was looking for something like Across the Universe and happened across this series. While it’s definitely not YA romance, it is a great sci-fi read that involves space travel, high stakes action and exploring interesting new environments. It also has the tiniest hint of romance sprinkled in (I reiterate.. it is NOT romance). I’m very excited to pick up book two and see what happens with our crew. Kind of reminiscent of Stargate too!

I liked it! it's one of those sci-fi books that try's hard to stay grounded and relatable. There was a ton of explanation, almost shonen anime level of explanation. Still it was good, the science felt sound and the situation felt relatable. the twists were unexpected yet not overtly fantastic. I look forward to seeing where this goes.

Voyage of no return

Quite a saga and the underlying plot adding to the struggles of the colonists. Good character building. Read other sequels!

Good and thoughtful.

The best sci ft book I have read in quite a while, reminiscent off some of my favorite writers. Including the man the ship is named after. Can't wait for the sequil!

Enjoyed this book from start to finish. Although it's science fiction, it's based on lots of facts. When the book is set, travel through space like this could be achievable. Even the exoplanet that is the destination has been in the news recently for having signs of life. I think I will look out for the next book, as this one leaves you not knowing the outcome of Project Orpheus.

An engaging tale that is worth reading, despite some obvious flaws that should have been caught by editors.

The catastrophe that starts the book would result in a significantly bigger Earth's wobble and dramatic climate shifts. Tides would be 40% or less of current strength, dramatically reducing their ability to clean the Earth and wiping out loads of marine organisms.

The redundancy of having a second ship is pointless if that ship is 5 years away.

Page 37- Cabernet Sauvignon is most definitely not white wine
Page 60- Trashing all belief in God leaves you with no morality at all- none. There is no right or wrong. There are no shoulds or oughts in such a world. No God means that all of us are just a bag of chemicals who go through meaningless interactions with each other.
Page 61- So, if all members of the expedition have implants that allow instant communication, how come LT Beaufort had to leave a message for his boss?

The book gets better toward the end. Looking forward to the second book.

good read

This was a pick up from kindle unlimited. The premise of colonization of a planet after the inevitable destruction of earth has elements of terrorism, new worlds and generation ships. It was okay,

Mr Cavell is either a 15yr old or someone with a not very good grasp of English

The plot is tedious, the language is written in a style that could be a 16 year olds. Really dissapointed in this story
