Justin Thorn

When Captain Justin Thorn is hired to transport equipment and supplies to a mining colony on the moon, he knows it could be dangerous. He doesn't expect that someone will try to kill him. When they arrive on the moon, Thorn and his crew discover a shocking secret that could jeopardize all life on earth. On their return trip they find that their ship has been sabotaged, leaving them unable to return to Earth without burning up in the atmosphere.

In this highly anticipated sequel to the hugely popular Pegasus, Captain Justin Thorn is on his way to Mars. His beloved Pegasus is piggybacking on the much larger Intrepid on an mission to rescue the survivors of the scientific outpost there after a devastating meteor shower has destroyed their base. Among the scientists they hope to find alive is Doctor Kelsey Engstrom, the woman Thorn loves. 

They’ve been to the moon and they’ve been to Mars. Now they’re going to the most dangerous planet of all: Earth. When the spaceship Intrepid returned from its rescue mission to Mars, Captain Thorn and his crew downloaded and preserved the ship’s artificial intelligence and onboard computer, known as Maia, and returned it to the scientists and engineers who created it. These scientists have been building a synthetic human-like android body, but lack the software to operate it. They upload Maia’s programming, knowledge and memories into their new creation.
