Crossover

by Greg Stumbo

An important mission to save people on Earth. A cargo ship making record time. A two hundred percent bonus on the line. The crew is working together to make the almost impossible happen. That is, until the ship's AI gets a copy of Alice in Wonderland.

An interstellar cargo vessel was never designed to be controlled by a mad hatter or a white rabbit. But, perhaps the on board psychiatric program – the Cognitive Anonymous Therapist can help the crew in more ways than therapy.

In Wonderland, nonsense is fun and the norm. On a ship, it proves more deadly as the horrors come from unexpected angles, and a deadly game of croquet is worse than a tea party with the Red Queen.

Can the crew of the Crossover save their ship and complete the mission to save millions of lives on Earth, or will they perish in a terrible precursor to disaster back home?

About the author

Greg Stumbo writes along the Crystal Coast of North Carolina. Well, not actually along the coast, since the tide would wash it away. You get the idea. His writing had previously been interrupted by becoming other things such as a father to two amazing boys, a veteran of Army Rangers, a plumber, a musician, a business owner and comedian, to name a few. Most days now are spent entertaining people with witty banter and stupid jokes in whatever form is handy at the moment. Regardless of where it is – in a book, in a bar, or a porch – he's keeping someone somewhere entertained in some fashion. Even if it's just to see what crazy thing comes next!

Reviews

[Pauline Render · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book started off innocently enough with a conversation between a crew member the the ship’s AI but soon became a tale that dragged me screaming into the story. The action was breathtaking as the crew and especially Markewitz try to find a way to fulfil a mission to help save earth, whilst trying to save themselves. I read this book with a constant feeling of dread and knowing. Crossover is one of the books which are difficult to review as I really don’t want to give anything away. But one thing I can definitely say is that if you love your horror or sci fi or a brilliant mixture of the two, this really is a must read book.

Fantastic!

This book literally had me on the edge of my seat! I would recommend this book to any techno-nut or sci-fi fan, especially those who enjoy horror. Down the rabbit hole, indeed!
