A listener contacted me because there seemed to be a plot gap between #20 and #21, and indeed, he was correct. Here is the missing episode which tells how the Starship Hanno was faced with spending a very long time getting anywhere safely, until Commander Jose Aguire came up with his plan for navigating through a dangerous energy field. This book is now available as a paperback on the Amazon website, and should be available for Kindle on 10/22/13. I hope you are enjoying the audio version, but I know many people will prefer reading rather than listening. The cover artwork design is by Starla Huchton. Editing was accomplished with the help of the South Bay Writer's group in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The plan to save the Arcturusians has begun as Aguire returns. This is the end of the book Between Earth and Arcturus.

The Admirals of the Exploration Corps have a lot of power, but someone else has more.

Aguire claims the Starship Hanno as his own.

     Commander Aguire has come into his own. He is the master of the Hanno now, but he knows his limitations, so he turns to the one person he can trust to fill a vacuum.

Commander Aguire has joined the rebels in attacking the government of Earth, and the evil leaders are on the run.

The fight for freedom starts now. Our evil vice president has invited Commander Jose Aguire to the Capitol in order to use him as a spokesman to explain President Garane's death and cement Batastia's position as dictator. Admiral Higgs has already made his excape from the doomed regime and will reappear in the sequel novel, "Pioneers of Arcturus" where he is still trying to build his perfect empire.

The Earth is under attack by the renegade General Hebert. This episode takes place entirely in the Navy Command Center near West Point, the capital of Earth, and is seen from Admiral Higgs point of view. The Starship Hanno has only been gone seven days, and General Hebert's rebel fleet entered the solar system just as the Hanno was departing for the Zone. There are only a few episodes left in the Between Earth and Arcturus saga. The sequel is in the works and will have much more from the Native Arcturusian point of view as the monarchy and people of Arcturus start seeing more visitors from Earth.

Aguire and Poluka fight for control of the Starship Hanno, and the fate of all aboard. Sometimes violence is the only answer. Who controls the starship determines what the crew will do about evil government of Earth that wants them dead, and how the issue of aliens of Arcturus will be resolved. Captain Poluka's mind has gone beyond the breaking point and the crew is confused and divided. In the next episode, we will return to the situation on Earth where General Hebert is waging war against the regime of Vincent Batastia.

The time has come for the officers and crew of the Starship Hanno to choose sides.
