Greetings and welcome to my hard science fiction Quadriology, Serendipity.
The first novel, Expedition of Discovery, starts out with a heavy dose of science and technology, though this is just to set the tone for what is to come throughout
the Quadrilogy.
Serendipity can be loosely defined as an event or series of events which may seem random, unwarranted or otherwise innocuous yet leads to a surprising gift or good fortune.
In this Quadrilogy, Serendipity refers to the fact
that Humans had discovered an obscure Planet through an accidental mis-calculation of a trajectory into a Star Jump.
An opportunity......
After discovering this planet, the United Peoples of Earth Council, or UPEC decided that it was the perfect
place to undertake a project to enhance the evolutionary progress of five species of Class B Primates inhabiting a Planet at the lone end of a String of the Galactic Web.
It was called Project Serendipity and it was intially successfull.
Yet
with all the best laid plans, over the thousands of years that have passed, something has gone wrong and that is where our story begins.
The Serendipity Quadrilogy takes place over 48,000 years on Planet 417.3 and over 40 years of the life of one man
who is at the center of this story.
I hope that the Serendipity Quadrilogy, and indeed all books in the Star Jump Chronicles body of work will make you think, learn, wonder, laugh, cry and relate to all that we are as a species.
My Best,
Alejandro!
