Chronos One

His father's last words weren't the greatest to give to a twelve-year-old boy, "There's no room for fear, Will. No room for failure," but young Will Stark took these words to heart and achieved a decorated career as an Air Force pilot and astronaut. His latest mission will be the greatest accolade of that career: testing the operations of a remarkable craft named Chronos in deep space. Yet the mission's heightened security conceals its true purpose, the greatest secret in modern history, in the newest novel by author Dean Palmer, Chronos One. Will's mission takes on new meaning when he discovers the connection to his father, a SEAL team commander, whose last mission with scientist, Dr. Sekulow, ended in tragedy. It wasn't just a mission to investigate a frozen corpse in Cold War Siberia; it was the recovery of a mysterious, ancient transmitting device with unlimited possibilities. Teamed with fellow pilot, Major Katherine Dalton and engineer, Lieutenant Commander Chris Saif-ad-Deen, Will is to lead a mission aboard Chronos to explore the device's origins and learn whether Dr. Sekulow's greatest hopes or worst fears could be true: that with the device they could travel across time, reach other galaxies, or obliterate humanity. However, Will's struggles to be the man his father wanted him to be, a man without failure, causes him to push past reason and even put people he loves in danger. Their journey of discovery and adventure defies every expectation and leads Will on a quest to look past his father's words to find his true destiny, yet it will take the love from an unlikely source and the realization of God's plan to enable him to achieve it, and the struggle could cost him everything, including those he loves most.
