"Fast-paced and heady with high-stakes peril, this intergalactic thriller will grip space-mad science buffs and adventure fiction fans alike."
With an edge-of-your-seat storyline aimed at 9+-year-olds, and perfectly-pitched for those with a reading age of seven, Chris Bradford’s Nova is a stellar story of space survival and unexpected close encounters of the crystalline kind.
Max gets much more than he’d bargained for when he joins his space trucker dad, Captain Sol, aboard the Helios spaceship on a supply trip. Early on in their voyage, father, son and crew experience extreme turbulence when Helios passes through a trail of space debris. Though they manage to reach Mercury, an anomaly sees them commanded to observe a strange gravity reading that’s coming from near the sun.
When dangers escalate, Captain Sol sends Max into the only functioning life-craft in order to save his son, whereupon Max finds himself in a strange new world — far from home and in a dangerous race against time to save his dad.
Dancing with drama and vivid descriptions of enchanting cosmological landscapes, Nova is shot-through with a “love is universal” message and boasts a bounty of emotional resonance.
When Max's life-craft is pulled into a wormhole, he needs a whole galaxy of luck to return to safety … Chris Bradford crafts Interstellar for kids in this space-bending survival story.
