Hi there, I'm Rex Burke, author of the Odyssey Earth series of feelgood SciFi adventures. 

I'd love to send you a free short-story prequel that will introduce you to some of the characters.

7,500 words – 30 pages – 1-hour read


It's 2003. Humanity is bound for the stars on a one-way mission to a distant planet.

They've figured out the hard stuff – hyperdrive, cryo-sleep, how to make muffins in space. They've found a captain, and are hiring crew.

High intelligence, capable of learning, and good sense of humour, essential.

Being human, not so much.
