Navigating the Stars MAR I A V. SNYD E R

A page-turning story of courage and determination in the face of the unknown

Year 2471.

A new discovery. Those three words thrill my parents — the galaxy’s leading archaeologists — but, for me, it means another time jump to a different planet. By the time we arrive, my friends will be older than my dad, and I will still be 17. Thanks, Einstein.

Fiction | December 2018

For Sarah and her husband, Heath, the chance to teach at Odell seems like the best thing that ever happened to their small family — a chance to rise through the ranks and put the past behind them.

I really can’t blame Einstein, though. No one expected to find life-sized terracotta warriors buried on other planets. So off we go to investigate, travelling through space and time. With my social life in ruins, I fill my days illegally worming into the quantum net — the invention that allows us to travel in space. Of course, the only person close to my age is a hot-but-pain- in-the-neck security officer who threatens to throw me into the brig. But when one of the warrior planets goes silent, we have bigger problems on our hands. The planet’s entire population might be dead. And now my worming skills, along with a translation of an ancient alien artefact, might be the key to finding out why. But my attempts to uncover the truth lead to the discovery of a deadly new alien phenomenon, and also alert those who wish to keep it quiet. The galaxy is in real danger and time is not on our side …

Until one dark night ends in murder.

But who’s guilty and who’s telling the truth? And who’s been in on it all along ... ?
