Way Station II: Book 1 of the Chronicles of Kudos

0/5 ( ratings)

The V3EX21 Exploration ship is in the path of Way Station II a Massive Intergalactic Pathfinder Class Scientific Research Station and threatens the station's gigantic hydrogen gathering sail. Luckily she is not simply pushed aside and left a derelict.
Those in Way Station II will soon see that the Cry-Steel hull of the V3EX21 has been damaged. This shocks those who will be figuring out how to enter her safely once they disable her energy shielding. Keep in mind that Cry-Steel has never been damaged and to this point in time believed to be completely indestructible.
When her call sign is transmitted, orders come to get the ship inside and seal the station. No communication in or out is allowed.
Now, the V3EX21's mission from which it has returned, to this very strange place in the path of this Wat Station, is known to but a few in the entire known universe. She was supposed to be gone for only 10 years ... She has returned after 25 years!
The ship is brought into Way Station II's Priority One Main Room and all except a select number of administration, officers, security forces and a very interesting science team are removed from the Priority One Room. Security in insanely tight.
The key to any hope of getting any of the ship's personnel out of Cryo-Hyb is one interesting old man. Who, at the beginning of this adventure is awoken from a deep sleep. He's not happy, and has no idea of what the next days have in store for him!
Of course, there's Gromitovich, the head of security for the entire station. Yes, he's corrupt and will not stop until he gains from this arrival.
Marlin Braden the entire station's commander has to control the science team that is gathered, and also has to do "battles with words and actions" with Gromitovich.
You'll meet ectremely diverse team of scientists who either are gathered from inside the station and those who are sent to Way Station II. Those from outside Way Station II have knowledge of the V3EX21's critical mission.
Add in intrigue, violence, a murder and mayhem, and this is how the Chronicles of Kudos begin. I hope you enjoy Way Station II.
