THE DAEDALUS
MISSION


Once a colony ship has left Earth, it cannot be recalled and it cannot be contacted.  The fate of these vessels and their cargos - designed to be the seeds of new human worlds - remained a tantalizing mystery to those who stayed home.  The mission of the scientific recontact ship "Daedelus" was to go out there and find out what happened.  And, if necessary, help out the colonists should their developing worlds have taken warped paths.

THE FLORIANS is the story of the first flight of the "Daedelus" and the crew of seven.  It launches a new series by the author of the novels of Star-pilot Grainger, space adventures with a difference that have achieved high praise.  On the world of the Florians, they did indeed find a planet in trouble - except that the ingabitants refused to admit it.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
