Frontier

by Patrick Chiles, Unknown Author

Marshall Hunter's dream was to fly, faster and higher, but his reality was rescuing lost spacefarers and satellites aboard the U.S.S. Borman. His luck changed when a billionaire couple vanished en route to a near-Earth asteroid, their course set for a catastrophic collision with Mars. The nuclear-powered Borman was sent on a daring, high-speed mission to save them, but as they neared the asteroid, the Borman itself became incapacitated.

About the author

Patrick Chiles began his writing career with the self-published novels PERIGEE and FARSIDE. His subsequent novels with Baen Books, FROZEN ORBIT, ESCAPE ORBIT, FRONTIER, and INTERSTELLAR MEDIC: THE LONG RUN have established him as a rising talent in adventurous, near-future science fiction. Born from the author’s fascination with practical space travel and love for Cold War technothrillers, his novels feature plausible technology that leverage his military and aviation experience to create stories with engaging, relatable characters on astonishing adventures: “ordinary people, doing extraordinary things.”
He also contributed to the 2021 anthology, WORLD BREAKERS, with Larry Correia and David Weber, the 2022 anthology, WORLDS LONG LOST, with Orson Scott Card and Christopher Ruocchio, and was the headline author of 2023’s THE ROSS 248 PROJECT.
Patrick graduated from The Citadel in 1986 and served in the Marine Corps until 1993. After a career in managing airline and business flight operations, he now works for an aviation safety consulting firm when he is not writing. He currently resides in central Ohio with his wife and a lethargic dachshund.
