The IGV Horizon's Edge

   (6 reviews)

Woken four hundred years off course. Crew: vanished. Company: an AI who refuses to stay just a computer.

James Carson signed up to clean toilets on a one-way trip to the stars. He got centuries of lost time, an empty ship, and a mystery no one's left to explain.

The way home is long. He won't be making it alone.

A wonderful story that tackles the question, "What if you wake up on your ship almost four hundred years in the future".

If you want to find out, you've got to read. 

Great job tim!

Response from the author:

Thank you. Mostly that was the inspiration...the actual one was what if you were a janitor that woke up on a ship in space 400 years in the future. 

Thank you for editing this one and for your suggestions along the way. xo ❤️

You will wonder how this 3 part exploration story will turn out. It begins when James,a man, wakes up and finds out the other humans on his space ship have left and he has been asleep for 400 years. His only companion is the ship's AI named SILAS who can take a human form.

This adventure takes them to more space, a return to earth, a reassessment of what seems best to do. You will want to learn how earth fares and what future mysteries await. Keep an open and hopeful mind, please

Response from the author:

An excellent story with a number of plot surprises.  Beautifully written and the story unfolds in a gentle fashion yet keeps moving along.  The interactions among Dr. James Carson, janitor, and Silas, and an additional character later, keep the story moving as they try to unravel a seemingly somewhat tangled mystery.  I recommend this. 

Response from the author:

Thank you, ReaderPaul for your review and recommendation. I appreciate your comments and thoughts along the way. :)

A beautifully written space tale. We find a man who is awoken into a mystery 400 years after the fact. He is alone except for the rather sarcastic ship's computer, SILAS, who turns out to be more than anyone bargained for, but he is integral to solving the reasons why they are where they are. There is so much here in these worlds, tim has built. 

Highly recommend that you don't miss this one. 

Response from the author:

Thank you, Michael. I'm glad you enjoyed it. And thanks for everything else too. xo

This is a wonderful sci-fi story from tim.

You need to read it to get the answer of why James Carson woks four hundred years off course.

Crew: vanished.

Company: an AI who refuses to stay just a computer.

You need to read on to get answers all of those questions.

Highly recommend.

Response from the author:

Thank you both for reading and your recommendation.  Some stories just come along at the right time. I think i was needing some hope and some peace. Hopefully, this brought both in some small measure. Thanks again, chris.
