The Oort Federation: To the Stars

Three sapient species from two star systems warring among themselves and against each other—Humans terraforming Mars to accommodate extended lifespans—Two competing FTL modes—An interstellar federation based in Sol's Oort Cloud. Together, these form the matrix of a galaxy-spanning saga.

"The Oort Federation: To the Stars is one of the most speculative, concept-rich, science-fiction novels I have ever read." —Professor John B. Rosenman, Norfolk State University

As the Oort Federation becomes a major force in the Solar System, Braxton Thorpe passes the Federation chairmanship to former US President John Butler, so Thorpe can move on. First, Thorpe's group offers humanity virtual immortality, but Isidor Orlov and his Udachny Enterprises oppose their every move. Then, while terraforming Mars for more living space, the Mars Reds prove formidable as resisters. Finally, if the captured Asterian starship fighter pilots are released, will they align with Thorpe or Orlov? And who will develop the right FTL technology? In this tense space adventure, Thorpe, his team, and Max the tabby cat, travel to Proxima Centauri and beyond to the Aster system, 84 lightyears distant. Can Thorpe bring together Humans, Oort, and Asterians in their quest for intergalactic discovery? Will long life prove more than mere Humans can handle?
