Series: Altered Space
May, 1970. After a one-month launch delay, Apollo 13 lands in the Fra Mauro Highlands of the moon-and then the trouble starts. The first in a series of what-if stories from the golden age of space exploration, Zero Phase was written based on meticulous research, and with assistance from two Apollo astronauts: Dr. Edgar Mitchell, who visited the Fra Mauro Highlands-and Captain Jim Lovell, who was supposed to. Dramatic, detailed, and finely written, this novella is a must-read for space aficionados and literary enthusiasts alike. The titles in the Altered Space series are wholly separate narratives, but all deal with the mysteries of space and time, progress and circularity. Each one is an ens of words in which orbits of spacecraft, moons, planets, and people allow us fresh perspectives on the cycles of our own lives.
