Goleta, CA Author Publishes New Book

Forever Voyage, a new book by Leonard R. Cook, has been released by RoseDog Books.

Carol Lynn Alden thinks she has attained her ideal career. She was accepted by her University of choice and then received her Doctorate in Microbiology with a Master's in Geology. While subsequently training as an Astronaut Mission Specialist following her post-graduate school, she was offered the opportunity to join the crew of Earth's first starship on a voyage to the star system Alpha Centauri. But adversity strikes and both Carol's future and her personal fortitude are severely tested by strange events.

Chané Okon Trent, an adventurer and explorer of extra-terrestrial planetary systems using some unique paranormal talents, becomes slightly infatuated with Doctor Alden as a result of a chance meeting. But the secrecy dictated by his special abilities relegates that fascination to a hopeless fancy. However, he decides to keep an eye on her exploits anyway for security reasons. When he intuitively senses that something is wrong somewhere, he decides to investigate the starship to verify its safety and uncovers his worst fears.

Leonard R. Cook holds degrees in both Computer Science and Business Administration. In addition to writing, he has a forty-five year career in Computer Technology and Data Processing. He enjoys reading, travel, computers, astrophysics, and electronics. A resident of California, he also enjoys flying as a private pilot.
