MISSION UPDATE:
For over two years the “core four” authors worked on crazy scenarios for the passengers on board The Good Ship January 1955 Beta, but we never came close to what the first three and a half months of 2020 has presented to the world. We recognize that many people are concerned, some are scared, and we don’t want to make light of a serious situation – but we also recognized self-quarantine efforts can also be stressful and people may need a bit of escape and the chance to laugh a little. In that spirit the authors of Old Farts in Space: Journey of a Lifetime are making the following offer:
To help you all through this 15 day stay-at-home time, we are now offering the comic space anthology eBook Old Farts in Space for FREE for the next five days. All we ask is that you consider leaving a review on Amazon. Thanks and stay safe!

To learn about Old Farts in Space read on:
An asteroid hurtles from the depths of space and passes dangerously close to planet Earth. While the rest of the world sets up committees to study the problem, the youthful United States decides to take action . . . So they pack up their old folks in rocket ships and send them hurtling right back into the depths of space.
Looking for adventure? Climb onboard The Good Ship January 1955 Beta on a farcical journey to Sagittarius system. Thirteen passengers – most of them over 70 years old – serve one-month shifts out of stasis to help guide the Good Ship while the crew of four and the other 65,000 passengers remain in stasis – what could possibly go wrong? Aided by computer avatar Joycelyn Effervescent, and robotic companions PHIL and EDNA MAE, the crew and passengers encounter strange phenomena and alien beings, create new relationships, tackle unpredictable challenges, and make a discovery that has implications for the future of Earth.
Co-authors Steve Landry, Dan Cassenti, Kate Lashley, Larry Garnett and others have crafted a collection of short stories chronicling the quest for a new home for humans among the stars. While paying homage to the American pop culture in the late twentieth century, the authors of Old Farts in Space: Journey of a Lifetime reveal that for the passengers of the Good Ship, life begins at 70.
