Book Description

A Voyage of Discovery, Healing, and Hope

By the 24th Century, a polluted and overpopulated Earth was no place for those who were different or needed medical care. A small group of disabled people was given the chance for cures in space during a voyage to a colony few people knew existed.

In the Centauri system, they found paradise on a water world of scattered islands, intelligent robots that were once human, an alien creature so strange it could not be classified, and travelers from another star who were very like themselves. Almost against their will, they were drawn into the final battle of the Terror Wars to stop a fanatical group that would destroy the colony and isolate humanity from alien influence.

Along the way, they learned the value of cooperation and returned with new technologies to save an ailing Earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Voyage to Centauri Is a Very Good Read Aug 20 2009
By Nancy Rosensweig - Published on Amazon.com

I love a good science fiction story that presents interesting ideas without resorting to a lot of technical jargon to set the scene. Voyage to Centauri manages to do this in a believable fantasy of the future. The story is told by Anita Kinner, a mildly autistic leader of a group of disabled people who met on the [...]. While Anita learns to relate to people as well as machines, this group travels to our neighboring star system, explores a variety of planets, and braves storms and terrorists. Some of my favorite characters are the artificial intelligence programs that appear as a robot and computer systems. If an AI was built from the memories of a living person, is it only a machine or is it still a human person?
