Sally Johnson Reed liked a review for Mission 51
Mission 51 opens with a child’s dream of being a hero and exploring outer space. Now an adult, Mat, is tasked to successfully complete a journey across the vastness of space where so many others have failed before him. With the help of his rag-tag crew and a slick, 5D traveling space ship—a ship that could’ve well been pulled straight from Flight of the Navigator—Mat must reach Earth’s distant sister planet. As the plot thickens and the twists unfurl, the reader will be taken down a road reminiscent of The Twilight Zone.

    This work is a extremely interesting take on a myth (depending on what you believe) in which the reader sees the other side of the story. Crotte uses great detail to develop the mystery of what is happening and sets up the two sides to propel the reader through the story. Mission 51 is a fantastical story with empathetic characters.

        This is a phenomenal piece of work. I've read a lot of sci-fi on this site, and what Mission 51 does that very few other books do is make you want to read more. The initial set up is masterful... you're gradually drawn in through the portal of the ordinary world of Bird-Watching... and then, through the relationship between our narrator and the birdwatcher we find ourselves sliding down the slippery slope of paranoia and conspiracy as we are plunged into the world of UFO's, aliens and government cover ups... We learn about the fifty failed missions to a mysterious planet and the plans to launch another voyage... and then we flashback to the establishment of Area 51... and on into the plot. A truly fabulous piece of work by a master storyteller. If you only buy one book on this site for your own peace of mind buy Mission 51... you will not be disappointed.

            I am feeling dizzy with gratitude! This was truly a special night. Mission 51 reached a funding milestone in a truly heartwarming way. I simply asked on Facebook, and friends responded. We now sit a 100 pre-orders! I am overjoyed!

            Thank you Marie Nall for helping us get there, and Sally Johnson Reed for your friendship and support! You are the greatest! :-)

            And a very special thank you to Michael Haase and wife Margie, who took time off from new baby duties, to dial the pre-orders up to 100! Thank you!! :-)

            Michael, as you all must know, is the author of The Madness of Mr. Butler, winner of the Nerdist Space Opera Contest (in production), and of An Adventure With Dada which is currently in funding. Please give them both a look and send some love his way! :-)

We are truly fortunate to share this space with the likes of Chris Hardwick’s Nerdist and Felicia Day’s Geek and Sundry. These awesome people help open this platform to the movers and shakers of popular culture. I’m impressed!

                  I recently caught someone skulking about the Inkshares site, sneaking around, as if she could go unnoticed. Well no you didn’t, Felicia Day!  So I’ve been "following" her now, to see what the heck she is up to. And now I find out!

                  wow, Wow, WOW!!! Felicia’s Geek and Sundry is sponsoring the new Inkshares contest, to start April 4 and end on my birthday May 16! Details about the contest will be available on the contest page tomorrow.

                  Well, just to prove I am an old fanboy of this awesomely awesome goddess, I want to share two pictures from last summer’s San Diego ComicCon. I can hear y’all already, "Awww, luckeeee!"

                  Ferd and Felicia:

                  Felicia’s book:

                  Thank you, Jeremy Thomas and the Inkshares team for gracing us with such an amazing lady! Felicia will help us all rock! 

                  Peace!
                  Ferd.
