A humorous alternate history of the space program.

They believe them to be nothing but drunken delusions, a theory which seems more than plausible given the bold and outlandish claims he has been making of late.

Noah Zarc rockets to Venus on a quest to discover the truth about his past. He refuses to believe his father is really the monster everyone says he is. Could there be valid reasons for everything his father’s done, including abandoning Noah at birth? Together with his two friends, a plucky girl from the Ice Age, and a street-wise kid from back alleys of Mars, Noah searches for answers to secrets everyone refuses to talk about—secrets that have remained hidden for over a thousand years. In the process, he becomes embroiled in a mystery that could have devastating consequences.

As battles rage across the solar system, Noah Zarc must work to unite a rag-tag bunch of miners, farmers, and scientists who would rather just live in peace than fight a war which could set humanity back to the dark ages...if not destroy them altogether.
