"Recovery of a Colony Ship" by John Thornton
Michael and Jamie live in Dome 17, the last place safe for humans, or
any life, on a dying earth. They are adventurers who have explored other
domes, but everywhere else is dead. Will Dome 17 meet the same fate?
The committee has a risky plan to try out unproven technologies: a
faster than light scout ship, and teleportation. Both technologies have
severe limits. Only two people can be carried aboard those FTL scout
ships for a one way journey, Teleportation can only work when a
receiving pad is at the target location. So can they make both these
technologies work to save the last of humanity?
One hundred years before, the people of earth had built gigantic colony
ships with enclosed habitats. They were filled with flora and fauna and
people. These ships were launched into space knowing it would take
generations to reach other solar systems. Those space pioneers would
live out their lives in transition to a new world. But the colony ship
program was considered a dismal failure. All of the colony ships were
considered lost.
Will Michael and Jamie travel to one of the colony ships? Will it be a
derelict? Or will it be a chance for a new home for humanity?

And now the exciting book 2 is also available.
“Exploring the Colony Ship: After Recovery”
The Earth is a dry, dead, wasteland. The last place livable was Dome 17,
but as it was failing. Those people made a last ditch effort to
survive. Through a bold and daring plan, they were able to reach what
seems to be a derelict colony ship, The Eschaton which is in mid flight.
(Please see book one, "Recovery of a Colony Ship)
The Eschaton had been designed to hold numerous and diverse immense
biological habitats: flora, fauna, and everything needed to terraform a
new world. It also carried thousands of people in suspended animation.
The ship was designed to be tended by crews who would live out their
lives in the journey between worlds. That journey would only be
completed after several generations had lived and died while in transit.
That was the plan. But something happened......
The people from Dome 17 have reached The Eschaton, but what will they
find in those habitats? What systems are still functioning? Did any of
the crew survive? What lurks deep in the bowels of a colony ship?
Jamie and Michael will learn much more as they Explore the Colony Ship.

And book 3 is “Unknowns of the Colony Ship”
Jamie and Michael continue to discover how vast and unknown is the old
colony ship. What things lurk in the biological habitats? What ways will
danger appear? Why do some of the artificial intelligence systems seem
to work, but others do not? Why are the automacubes not always
functioning? Why was a dismembered body through the transport system?
Who did that? How will the refugees from Dome 17 interact with the
people who were born inside the habitats of the Eschaton? What threats
to the very survival of the people exist in the unknown reaches of the
Colony Ship Eschaton? And personally, can Jamie and Michael survive
these unknown threats?

Book 4, “Hunting on the Colony Ship” is now available on Kindle.
The giant Colony Ship Eschaton has numerous habitats with animals,
plants, and people, all of which should be in balance as it makes its
generations long journey to another solar system. One of those people is
Tamar, a young woman who was born on-board and is growing up in the
town of Media.
Because of failures in past generations, both human and mechanical, most
people born on board the Eschaton do not even know they are inside a
colony ship. Technology has been lost, societies have crumbled, and
dangers abound. People struggle just to survive.
Tamar is gifted with machines, but that is not a blessing in the town
where she lives. She has a frightful encounter in the night and is
forced to flee everything she knows. She hunts for her freedom, and she
hunts for answers to who she is.
She runs away and encounters Michael and Jamie, two of the Dome 17
refugees who escaped the dying Earth and are trying to keep humanity
alive in the Colony Ship Eschaton. Jamie and Michael are also hunting
for answers about the old ship's systems, and are hunting for keys to
unlock its secrets. But some things do not want to be found.
Someone is also hunting for Tamar. And he is hunting for vengeance.

Vanguard systems are interactive and evolving for enhanced performance

the Vanguard. In prime condition, the science and engineering of the
