Luminosity - E-book - ePub

In the year 2045 a team of astronauts set sail for the edge of the solar system on the U. S. S Burdett to search for man's DNA origins. Unable to communicate with Earth as result of magnetic and gravitational anomalies, the star weary explorers discover an earth-like pocket of atmosphere on Pluto teeming with flora and what appears to be wreckage of a ship. That ship's lone survivor assists the Burdett's crew in discovering the origins of man and unlocking the mystery of an alien race known as the Spicans.
Luminosity-a homage to the influential and groundbreaking Russian science fiction films of the '60s and '70s-is a psychological and inspirational drama that weaves astronomy, entomology, history, speculation and social commentary together in a moral fable about the human condition and man's ambitions beyond the confines of Earth.
