Crinkle Theory
A glimpse into a possible future starting in the 23rd century. Colonization of other planets is in its infancy. An exploratory vessel lost to history is found abandoned in deep space. A floater. When revived from stasis, the surviving crew announces a near encounter with a ship from another world. The story follows the lives of several key characters growing up in a world reacting to the unexpected news. Karl, the young man raised by religious fundamentalists on a distant planet, is intrigued by stories from his uncle Zeke about the fabled Tri-Planet area. Broney, a product of a bad public family, struggles with anger issues as a member of a small band of marauding nomads. His anger defines him, and he uses his rage to become the most feared man in the trade routes. Amanda is an abused girl who makes the most unusual of friendships, a friendship that sets her on the quest of a lifetime. Captain Cooper volunteered almost one hundred years ago to set out in search of extraterrestrial life. Decades beyond the scheduled time, he has returned with news of a near success. Consumed by an obsession to complete the mission, he will do almost anything to make it back.

NOT A STAND ALONE BOOK-IS A DANGLER
This book had several storylines occurring almost simultaneously. Some were eventually brought together and provided meaning. Other storylines are still dangling out there trying to find a mate. I liked it enough to continue reading it, but felt like I was reading separate vignettes that were not finished. Hopefully the next installment will bring them all together with a meaningful plot and a satisfying ending. Any sci-fi buff would like it, maybe, if they hold out to the end and realize this is not a stand alone books. The 3 stars are for these reasons. Will have to read the next one to decide if I REALLY liked it, so far npot so much. Hopefully the next book will pull it all together, and my rating will be higher. Was not aware it was not a complete story and more was to come until close to the end.

Good Book
Well written science fiction, inhabited by some strange folks -- some struggling to survive and grow, some consumed by anger and hatred. Its a rollicking good read that reveals surprising depths by the end of the series.

It got me in from the start. Loved it! The story was all weaving together nicely and it ended! Went to buy book 2 for Kindle but not available .. 🤔
