Butch McCrae and Elmer Tepper return to Station Post One after what was supposed to be a routine patrol-but their report shakes the station A mysterious alien intelligence grabbed their ship and took them on a journey to the Andromeda Galaxy Now they are thrown into a whirlwind of celebrity, public adulation, and media scrutiny. But all this media attention distracts from the real legacy of their historic journey-an alien probe has stowed away aboard their ship and has now infiltrated the station. And the information it sends to its home galaxy is awakening a vast intergalactic force which could wipe out all intelligent life in our galaxy

COMMANDER KRAMER'S LOG: My name is Commander Damon Kramer. Many years ago, the Earth was destroyed by a supernova triggered by extradimensional beings called the Thermians. As commander of Station Post One in the Valdor Sector, I must work with an interstellar consortium known as the Community, and find a way to defeat the Thermians--and save all intelligent life in the universe

An all-new saga begins with THE PRIEST MONSTER, first of the new VOYAGE INTO THE UNKNOWN: STATION POST ONE books As Commander Damon Kramer battles businessman Zach Mortimer for control of the new space station, Captain Butch McCrae and Sgt. Elmer Tepper set off on a perilous mission to the inhabited planet Ymor, which is threatened by the mysterious, extradimensional Thermians. Although they have come to help, the Ymorians, beyond all reason, want their world to end, and Butch and Tepper are faced with a fanatic theocracy that holds an entire world hostage. But the Dreb are not merely religious fanatics with a bag of tricks--their fabled supernatural powers are real It's up to Butch and Tepper to search the planet Ymor for an explanation for these powers, and a way to free the Ymorians from the religious dictatorship that threatens to destroy their civilization

Earth's sun cannot supernova-and yet it did. For twenty-one years, scientists have wondered why. Now, entering a new sector of the galaxy, the Space Star Silver Streak encounters an alien race known as the Valdor-belligerent, crab-like beings who reveal the astonishing information that the supernova was no natural phenomenon-but was deliberately induced by mysterious creatures known as the Thermians Faced with the possibility of abandoning the long mission to settle colonies on other planets, Captain Richard Cameron must redirect the Silver Streak's future. In the midst of establishing the first space-based colony, Station Post One, Cameron suddenly faces a new and more personal menace in the form of his arch enemy, the Hyron commander Mordrax. The Thermians' latest target is Hyron, and if the Hyrons are destroyed, so will Cameron's young daughter Keilah. If the Thermians think Richard Cameron is going to take this lying down, they are sorely mistaken

The Space Star Silver Streak has been seized by the tyrannical Captain Edmonds, a power-hungry despot who has declared martial law and suspended the Congressional Council. All those who oppose him have been marooned on the barren planet Asturias II. But Captain Richard Cameron is back...and he's mad With Frank Johnson, Jack Hasta, and Philippe Stargazer, Cameron sets sail aboard the Hyron Galactic Cruiser Odyssey to take back his ship But the task is not easy. Edmonds has laid traps in his path. There are members of the crew loyal to Edmonds. And the Hyron commander Mordrax, still sworn to Cameron's destruction, trails the Odyssey with his formidable Hyron Dreadnought Invincible

On a mission to circumnavigate the universe, the crew of the Eldorado discovers an entire hidden universe, separated from our universe by the speed of light, composed of temporal dimensions. Yet the astronauts, their overtaxed minds pushed beyond rational thought, are increasingly unable to study the very phenomena they were sent to discover. Then the fighting breaks out. Colleagues gun one another down, friends turn against friends, and in the irrational combat the ship itself is damaged. The mission itself is part of the structure of the cosmos; the end of time is both the cause and the effect of the relativistic journey. Human nature becomes part of the physics of spacetime, and whoever controls the Eldorado controls the fate of the universe.
