The Lost Starship

Enjoy this light-hearted, tongue in cheek Science Fiction story, for Young Adults and Adults. Even though Daisy Weal herself does not appear in this story, it is still part of the series, falling between ÔDaisy Weal and the Last CrenianÕ, and ÔThe Star QueenÕ, and is the fifth book in the series. Two hundred years had passed since the disappearance of Daisy Weal, and the flagship of the Star Fleet, HMSS ÔThe Daisy WealÕ, named in memory of her, was heading towards the desolate planet of Cren to deliver an archaeological and survey team. When passing through a binary system, an accident happened, and a beam of energy from an unknown source penetrated the ship killing all passengers and crew instantly. The shipÕs semi-sentient bio-processor took evasive action, and escaping on emergency thrust, it inadvertently twisted space and performed an unintended, and previously thought impossible, hyper jump.
