A Star Of Hope,When the news came on the TV about Dolly the Sheep in 1996, I said that it won't be long before they engineer humans the same way. I quickly wrote a page about how this could be possible. Then I expanded it to three, then.... Life got hectic and A Star of Hope got buried with a lot of other unfinished works.I finished the Book during the Covid 19 Lockdown.A Star of Hope (Book One) focuses on the loss of Star Dust Space Ship and the heroic attempts they make to try and rescue it.The last-ditch attempt is made by the brilliant young Cadets to try and bring it back before the onboard astronauts' demise.The book also dwells on the controversial outcome of a begotten baby and the fundamental principles of the main characters and the decisions they make.It is also a saga of love found and lost due to circumstance and duty.Book one is a stand-alone book. I am writing Book Two as I feel the need to tie up some loose ends for personal satisfaction....My take on the future is positive, no matter how badly the people in power mismanage the human race and the World in general.We must have hope and leniency and always be ready to forgive.
