About this ebook
The Zrilkons had travelled millions of miles through space when their engines failed and the craft fell towards Earth, crashing in the Arizona desert. When the UFO was discovered, it was hoped that its secrets could be unfolded. Things didn't work out quite so well as expected....

I've always enjoyed reading the old pulp sci-fi books from way back. Ben Bova, Poul Anderson, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke being some of my favourite authors. I uploaded my very first ebook early January 2013, science fiction of course. Smashwords is brilliant, allowing first time and seasoned authors alike to make their work available with ease for public enjoyment. There's some really talented authors on the site. I need to do a lot of work to even come close to their quality of writing, but I'll have a lot of fun in the process. E-books are definitely the way to go. Best wishes to all that visit.

Prologue
The space craft was finally ready after being fuelled up. The technicians had made their final checks and were satisfied that everything was in order. The crew members had volunteered, knowing the dangers that they might encounter. A new planet had been discovered millions of miles away among the stars which had all the promises of being habitable, but a visit to the planet was necessary to confirm the findings. The round trip would far exceed the life span of the crew, so they would be spending most of the long journey in suspended animation.
Their home planet, Zrilkon was slowly dying, its atmosphere gradually leaking away into space. Resources were dwindling and the world was in turmoil. The
