Title
The Maia's Promise: The Digital Survival Journal of Franklin C. Royster - Paperback
by Gregory A. Pierson (Author)
"This was not an accident - this ship was slated for a one-way mission ..."
In the twenty-fifth century, the Terran freighter Tyler Y. Alphonse crash-lands on a terrestrial world. Or did it? Six humans are awakened from Cryo-sleep and find themselves marooned in the depths of interstellar space. With their shipmates murdered and three unaccounted for, three of the survivors - Lt. Daphne Chigusa Lee, Chief Petty Officer Olivia Cruz, and a civilian, Franklin Cecil Royster - find themselves at odds on forging intimate relationships. Royster keeps a journal of their survival. Interpersonal conflicts intensify as Chief Petty Officer Calvin Grimm and Petty Officer Reginald Burke suspect Royster has taken indecent liberties with the women. Under increasing physical and emotional harassment, Royster flees the crash site, followed later by Lee. During their excursions they discover one of the ship's ejected escape crafts, in which only Olivia Cruz survived, but she has sustained horrific injuries. With Cruz stabilized, Lee returns to the freighter to continue her treatments. The two groups reluctantly join forces, but explosive, long-hidden secrets are laid bare. If they are to survive, everyone must overcome their differences. Their story is all recorded in The Digital Survival Journal of Franklin C. Royster.
