Anthony Travellor, and the five other members of the Trailblazer team, are on their way to the moon. They are traveling in a modified ship, that wasn't designed to carry people. They have a limited time frame to get there, or risk running out of air. Their mission, to establish the first permanent operational base on the moon, is a secret, not known even to the U.S. Congress. The idea was first conceived in 1981, before the United States had the technology to accomplish the task. Now, on the day of the launch, the technology is still barely adequate to accomplish the mission. Preparations have been ongoing, and supplies have been landed on the moon's surface, waiting for the team's arrival. The problem they face is, even if they get there alive, there is no way for them to get back to the Earth. The breathable air in the ship, and their space suits, would not last long enough for the return trip - it's a one way ticket. Then, there is the challenge of constructing the shelter that will keep them alive, and doing so before the air in their suits runs out. Why would these explorers risk their lives to accomplish this mission? Each has their own reasons. They all see the need, and understand that risks are necessary when reaching for the stars. Patriotism, and the will to sacrifice for the security of their country, is part of it. Believing that if they don't do the job, no on else will, is another part. Their need for excitement and danger is also a part. To attempt what they are attempting, while understanding the potential for their own demise, defines each one of them as part of the rare breed willing to look the Grim Reaper in the eye, and stare him down. The Trailblazer team expected to put their lives at risk, but they didn't expect that someone else was already there, waiting for them. This unexpected, chance meeting with people from another galaxy would change their lives, as well as the future of the Earth.

In these acclaimed essays, Sherry Simpson recounts her experiences as an ordinary woman confronting the vast expanses of water and wilderness of her home state. Her adventures include a harrowing bear encounter and a near-death experience falling into a glacial river, but she also finds an Alaska of surpassing, almost supernatural beauty and power. These lyrical essays thoughtfully explore one woman's effort to map both a sense of place and a sense of self in a world at once comforting and unforgiving.

From Amazon bestselling author Craig Briggs, The Journey continues with book ten in the series, THE ACCIDENTAL EXPLORER. Craig and Melanie enjoy the best of both worlds: spring, summer, and autumn in beautiful Galicia and winter on the Costa del Sol. During their time in Andalucía, they revisit some old haunts and explore new ones. He falls in love with the magic of Málaga and the charm of Estepona's old town, but questions Ronda's links to literary greats. On their return to Galicia, work in the vineyards requires his attention. Their passion for food and love of wine flow through Craig's narrative like a meandering waterway. Accompanying these irresistible flavours is an eclectic mix of music from Galician bagpipes to Portuguese fado and Spanish rock icons of the 1990s. Bumps in the road keep their feet on the ground, and a lapse in concentration results in an unwanted bill. When a slapdash landlord raises their concerns of a potential property scam, they hold their nerve, but nothing prepares them for Nature's assault on their precious grapes. Craig's flowing writing takes us on an unforgettable journey through Galicia and beyond. His keen observations and comedic prose breathe new life into history and introduces us to the characters preserving this rich culture for future generations.
