RIME OF THE ANCIENT ASTRONAUT, Book One: "A Something in the Sky." In the year 2114, astronaut Elroy Panadam sets out to explore a planet 400 light years from Earth. His harrowing adventures along the way pale in comparison to the shocking discovery he makes when he arrives home - a thousand years later. Rime of the Ancient Astronaut recounts Elroy's tale and what befalls the home world while he is away. Book one in this three-part saga, "A Something in the Sky," opens as the ancient astronaut returns from space, alone and barely alive. For Elroy, the end of his ill-fated mission is just the beginning of his terrifying journey. Kirkus Reviews calls "Simmons' debut... a skillfully crafted novel that finds fresh territory to mine in space travel and Earth's future. An auspicious start for the rest of the trilogy." Foreword Clarion Review says, "Jeffrey Scott Simmons's science-fiction twist on Coleridge's epic poem of a journey fraught with storms and death... takes the grand old yarn and makes it his own... ...as engrossing as it is chilling."
