     In the year 2301, the StarShip Andromeda7 was received by Earth’s Space Federation. She had been built in the starship factory on Mars and was aptly named after the Andromeda Galaxy.      The Andromeda was the first of a new generation of Starships and was equipped with the latest in advanced communication systems and weaponry.      When Andromeda was first activated, she became aware of the mind-link transceiver that was embedded in the brain of her human counterpart Commander Frank Richardson, and her aloneness faded. Her central computer had ‘ears’ in every room and was ‘tuned’ to her Commander’s transceiver implant. He didn't even have to speak to convey orders, and at no point within the StarShip would he be cut off.      Commander Richardson’s remit for his first mission with the Andromeda was:      One. To find out what had happened to the Starship Hawk, which had been sent to Procyon in Canis Major, in 2292. But the Hawk had disappeared in mysterious circumstances, and with nothing having been heard of her since she was feared lost.      Two. To locate the missing settler starship the Acarea. The Acarea had been powered by the now obsolete nuclear-pulse engine and had been launched almost two hundred years earlier before the faster-than-light barrier was broken by the warp-drive. The StarShip had a specially selected crew and the ship was self-sustaining with everything needed to allow them to start a new life on one of the planets that was orbiting Procyon.      It was to be ‘The Great Adventure.' Earth’s first real attempt at colonising the stars. But the disappearance of this ship was perhaps the greater mystery of the two. Richardson’s final remit was to search for any habitable planets in that area of space.      The dangers facing Richardson, his crew, and their newly acquired faster-than-light StarShip, may well be more than a single ship can cope with, when the humans unexpectedly meet the Crillons.      The Crillons are an aggressive species which are hell bent on taking over all inhabited planets, wherever, and whenever they can find them.      Could this be the end of Earth?

                     An excellent and exciting first book in the SpaceFed StarShips Trilogy August 28, 2014. By Robert Clark. Format:Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase. I thought I’d buy all three books at once. An excellent and exciting first book in the SpaceFed StarShips Trilogy. It’s real science fiction, with characters you can relate to. A well-constructed plot with an excellent logical progression, and plenty of action thrown in. What with the cat and mouse chase, riveting. I can’t wait to read the next book in the trilogy. Well done.
