Pegasus Colony

Overview

Cozy Science Fiction Novel
There are no crazed aliens or galactic wars. This story is about people living in the 25th Century on a planet in the Pegasus Constellation.

It was to be Earth's greatest accomplishment establishing the first galactic colony 27 light years away.

It was a colossal failure.

For three hundred years, World Space Coalition (WSC) believed the Pegasus Colony and its colonists had perished. When it was learned the colony had survive, the citizens of Earth celebrated.

WSC immediately commissioned a spaceship to make first contact. One hundred civilian scientists were selected to study the planet, the cosmos, and the colonists.

When Roan and her teammate learn of a deadly disease killing the People of Akiane, they set aside their original mission to find a cure. But their offer of help is rejected.

Pegasus colonists are dying from an alien disease. After three hundred years of abandonment, those from Earth promise to find a cure. In truth, the invaders have come to dominate. Colonists would rather to be left alone, so they can die in peace.

Lieutenant Jessica M. Hewett has been commissioned to reunite Pegasus Colony with their home planet Earth.

Jessica can't make peace with the demons of her past. How can she reunite two planets that refuse to communicate with each other?

If she fails WSC will issue a military takeover. Jessica will become the first person to start an intergalactic war.

Editorial Reviews

02/02/2015
An interesting concept isn’t enough to outweigh the limp prose and weak characters in this debut novel of interstellar space travel. In the mid-22nd century, a disaster causes humanity’s first space colony, located on the planet Akiane, “in the constellation Pegasus,” to be cut off. Communication is re-established 300 years later, at which point the colonists have no interest in the World Space Coalition that sponsored their original mission. They do, however, agree to talk to communication tech Jessica Hewitt, who thus becomes the person on whom all hope of a reconciliation rests. The core plot is interesting enough, split between the backstory of the colonists surviving on the harsh planet and the conflicts brought about by the economic and scientific interests of the Terrans, but Moore’s writing undermines the story, with generally flat prose occasionally giving way to awful faux-Southernisms (“as grateful as a cat in a tuna factory,” “grinning like a possum eating a sweet potato”).
