There is no Drake Equation. There is no question on sentience. The
galaxy is alive and filled with life. The only issue: we humans
aren't invited. The Galactic Star Alliance awaits your exploration.
In this illustrated novel co- created & written by Matthew
Medney (Heavy Metal Magazine CEO & NYU adjunct professor) and
John Connelly (Lockheed Martin Aerospace Engineer), humankind
acknowledges the vastness of time, the cyclical nature of
civilization, and the obscurity of our own history. If our galaxy
is so full of sentient life, why has no one said hello? We thought
of a simple, logical reason: no one wants to. Stepping back and
casting an objective eye on ourselves, it seems painfully obvious
that humans lack a fundamental respect for our planet and for each
other. We possess extremely short memories and long grudges, and
the likelihood of receiving alien tools to hasten our expansion
seems downright foolhardy. The Galactic Star Alliance has been
alive and well for millions of earth years. Hundreds of thousands
of sentient worlds and trillions of beings walk, run, and crawl
across the many home worlds of the Alliance. This revelation led to
many questions: How is faster-than-light speed travel possible, and
could cohesive, interstellar civilizations exist without it? Is it
conceivable to govern a coalition not of different countries, but
of different species? Each question led to another and each answer
built our world, piece by piece until it spanned thousands of
answers and millions of light-years. As for the title, from where
would our judges watch us? But our galaxy has spoken to us humans.
There are some who believe it is out there. Not as science-fantasy
but as science. Introduce Bernard William Hubert. World renowned
astrophysicist, and Lead Scientist of the seminal company of
exploration, Outer Limits. While on loan to CERN, a catastrophe of
unimaginable proportions leaves Bernard as the sole survivor. While
the scientific community & world looks to him for answers, he
simply states the unthinkable "it has to be aliens." Inconceivable
to the world, the Hubert family is investigated and his family's
name tarnished. Disgraced and shunned. Bernard claws his way back
into the equation with his new company C.O.R.E as they work
tirelessly to design an engine capable of interstellar travel.
Follow Bernard on his road to redemption and discovery in this
ensemble cast of futurism, space travel and the fate of our
species. This illustrated novel includes 35 pieces of beautiful,
full-color, painted artwork by Utku Ozden. - Matthew is the CEO of
