Matthew Isaac Sobin liked a chapter from Mission 51

A Note from the Author:

I met Dr. Linda Deltare during a birding festival at West Virginia’s New River Gorge in the spring of 2010. I was struck by the enthusiasm of this elegant, elderly lady as she observed a constellation of Starlings sweeping through the sky. I remember her looking away from her binoculars excitedly exclaiming, “Did you see how they responded in unison to the leader’s chip call?”

She focused her gaze right at me, and since there was no one else was nearby, and. . .

      Love this project! One of the most exciting on Inkshares, as it combines SciFi with historical fiction, centering on a well-known 20th century intrigue. Thrilled to support Ferd with the July pick of the SciFi syndicate! Let's publish Mission 51!
      Mission 51
      After a tragic, fifty light-year voyage, Zeemat crash lands on a beautiful and sometimes hostile alien world... the planet Earth! Will he return to his own planet or make Earth his new home? Mission 51 is an immigrant story that is out of this world!

      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.

          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 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.
