"The Wishbone Express" is a science fiction novel set hundreds
of years in the future, when faster-than-light space travel is
common and millions of inhabited worlds are part of a galactic
society. The story focuses on two men - Randy Henson and Bill
Jenkins-who operate an interstellar courier service using their
highly advanced starship, the "Wishbone." They accept a contract to
transport a key government witness whose testimony will decide the
fate of a corrupt planetary government. Their VIP passenger is
accompanied by an attorney and an alien body guard.
But during the journey they are pursued across thousands of
light years by three well-armed ships which repeatedly attempt to
destroy the "Wishbone." The story employs a wealth of cosmological
data to present a scientifically accurate description of the
celestial features which play a key role in this fast-past story.
The" Wishbone's" crew uses intelligence and imagination to
out-maneuver their pursuers as they fly through a dense nebula,
soar through the deadly radiation of a pulsar, and dive into the
chromosphere of a star
The two crewmen do not know, however, that their passengers are
concealing dark secrets from both the crewmen and each other. After
a dangerous and action-packed voyage, the crewmen attempt to land
their badly damaged spacecraft on the destination planet while
dealing with life-threatening complications concerning the true
identities of their passengers and the deadly secrets they've been
hiding.
The Wishbone Express is rich with exciting action, unexpected
plot twists, and generous amounts of humor.
