About this ebook
Logan Bradley, Captain of the Cruise Light, stood tall in regal posture as he surveyed the bridge of his new interstellar vessel. Humanity was on the verge of discovering worlds beyond their solar system and they selected Logan, a chosen the tool to achieve that end. What threats lurked light years beyond the last worlds of Sol scarcely fazed him. He looked to the stars with hopeful eyes.

Sub-Light Entry
Starship Cruise Light, Bridge
Logan Bradley, recently promoted to Captain of the interstellar ship, Cruise Light, stood tall with his hands pressed firmly to his back in a regal posture as he surveyed the bridge of his fresh new vessel. His face was cleanly shaved, his jutting chin sticking out, and his chest puffed forward. The craft had departed his world hours ago, ripping through space and time thanks to a recent invention, the first of its kind: FTL framework engines. The design was a prototype to put it mildly. In all respects, Logan was almost absolutely sure his ship would not explode upon re-entry into normal space. Almost.
Logan wore the attire befitting a starship captain in the Terrace military. He wore a captain’s cap over a head of short brown hair. His suit, blue in color and simplistic in design, housed medals on his shoulders, and the Terrace insignia stitched onto his right arm. He bore a tattoo on that same arm in the same spot and with the same design. To say that he was dedicated to his craft was an understatement.
He smiled as he stared out into the sub-light space, a special domain that the FTL framework engines allowed his craft to enter. The same physical laws as those in normal space did not bind objects in this dimension. Funny. He would have just called it space twenty-four hours ago,
