What's The Tesserene Imperative all about? It's primarily a tense action/adventure story, infused with frequent humor, set in deep space.
It was supposed to be a routine mission, but in an asteroid belt nothing is routine.
When prospecting ship Shamu is almost destroyed, the crew of five is left with three days of air, little water, a smashed starflight drive, and no hope of rescue. It will take every ounce of ingenuity and stubborn pigheadedness they possess to find a way to survive.
In the shadows of a small moon, an amazing discovery leads to first contact. Will it open the galaxy to human exploration, or doom mankind to extinction?
(The Tesserene Imperative and The Mars Imperative can be read in either order, or individually. They are stand-alone stories, along the lines of McCaffrey's Brainship series or Saberhagen's Berserker series.)
