Earth has been plundered by its inhabitants for far too long. It is now a whirling mass of destruction, being pulled into its own Sun.

Captain Kristen and the crew of the Atlantis have been tasked with finding a suitable replacement world before it is too late.

In their travels they come across many strange beings, and are captured by some to be used as pawns in a game for their own race’s salvation.

The leader of one planet reluctantly agrees to help them, merely with guidance to find the makers of Planet Earth. He suggests that when a machine breaks down, one goes to the maker of the machine. Since humans have “broken” Earth, why not find the makers of the planet?

Will the crew of the Atlantis find the makers? And even if they do, will it be in time, and will the makers agree to help?

“Good morning. This is Captain Kristen, Commander of Atlantis Mission Explorer,” she stated. “Today is day 1,472 since we departed Earth.

“I hope today will be a good day for us, a day when we will have some good news to relay back to you at home. News that will bring us all hope and salvation.”

She shut down the laptop and sighed.

“Hope and salvation,” she repeated to herself.

Interview with the Author:

Q – Why do you enjoy writing children’s books?

A – It’s a mixture of things, actually. I loved reading as a child. I would often spend my weekends either at the local library, or curled up in our lazy-boy chair reading. I knew I wanted to instill that love of reading into my children from as early an age as possible. The first children’s book I wrote was called, Casey’s First Tooth, about my oldest daughter getting her first tooth. The kids still laugh when they read that one!

Q – What do you hope readers will enjoy most about your children’s books?

A – I hope that parents will discover a fun book that their kids will enjoy reading over and over again. Plus, I hope that kids will enjoy trying to read my books, have fun being read to, and love the fun illustrations.

Thanks for reading!

In the mid-1800s, the United States needed a better way to protect the great flood of immigrants, pioneers, and settlers headed west along the southern route from Indian attacks, thieves, and murderers.
