Trajectory Unknown

What if there was another planet out there that had a civilization that existed millions of years ago? What if their world was much older and dying? What would they do to save themselves and their species? What would happen if we found an ancient artifact fully intact from a prior visitation millions of years ago? What would our world do to get their hands on that advanced technology? These questions and more are incorporated into then fabric of this book being Volume I which explores the possibility of an ancient exodus to the present-day conflicts we are embroiled in. Only the intervention of a benevolent nation can save this magnificent artifact. But what powers does it have? What surprises are in store once the artifact is completely uncovered? Who will win and what will it cost? These are examined and carried out to their conclusion which only opens the door for a different twist in Volume II. There are scientific explanations woven into this book trying to explore the realities that exist in long distance space exploration. Maybe some work, maybe some don't. I'll let you be the deciding factor in these matters. The book looks at some serious difficulties of deep space exploration, yet tries to incorporate humor in many forms and situations.
