Quasar Mirror

This novel involves the future of space travel with a highly trained crew of six. The Osprey is a mining ship with seventeen months of successful journey to Jupiters moon Io for the gold and diamond resources then back home to their families on Earth. The crew has a secondary mission of delivering the emergency medical supplies to the outermost space frontier of La Grange. The base of La Grange was located on Jupiters moon Ganymede. Their previous supply ship had crashed in Mars asteroid belt. With the personnel at a total of 531, plus their families, the survivors depend on this precious cargo. At the present time, Saturns orbital path is in virtual alignment with Jupiters around the sun. Saturns two moons collide, and it produces a quasar and creates the time warp factor, which complicate the crews survival. The survival of the remaining crew depends on the conservation of precious commodities, food and water. It will demand for the survivors ability to adapt to the hardships while on their returning trip back home to planet Earth. Ospreys captain is Commander Kenneth Winter. He rules with a tight fist. Once his mind is made up, theres no turning back. With communication lost, theres no possible way of informing the Earth base of the dilemma. The Ospreys payload has a fully loaded bounty of gold and diamond, and the greatest fear is the pirates.
