Pathfinder

Scientist David Dysinger has a dream: to build the first faster-than-light starship. But in the 23rd Century, peoples' dreams are realized in the virtual reality of computers rather than real life. The rulers of Earth see his starship as a threat to their own power - a threat they will stop at any cost. Deadly sabotage may leave the crew of Pathfinder marooned on a distant world. Even if they return home, they still must face enemies they didn't even know they had. David had hoped to revolutionize space flight, but he will find himself leading a revolution of an entirely different kind...

5Great Adventure  Apr 14, 2008

David Dysinger is a 23rd century scientist who dreams of traveling to the stars. After years of sending out and analyzing faster then light probes, he and his team are ready to build the first FTL starship. The problem is getting the money and backing to build such a ship. Neither the scientific community nor the government are interested in star travel. The majority of people on Earth spend most of their lives wired into their computers, living in virtual reality. The governments of Earth are only interested in keeping the wire heads happily ensconced in their virtual worlds while they run the real world. The only people interested in star travel are the spacers, free thinking individuals who live aboard the orbiting space stations and supplying the power needed by Earth.

Backed by the Spacers and the only privately owned station, David and his team pursue their dream . For them this project is a scientific adventure. What none of them realize is that Earth's leaders see their adventure as a threat. A threat that has to be stopped. But sabotage, lies, and murder will not stop the crew of Pathfinder.

This book is not only good science fiction, it is also a wonderful adventure story.
