Humanity is on the brink of extinction. It is the 21st century and Earth is overcrowded, underfed, and teetering on the brink of worldwide chaos. Their best and last hope rests among the stars, in finding another world able to sustain human life. Enter Colonel Jerry Cornelius, hero and adventurer extraordinaire. Along with his wife Cathy and good friend, Professor Frank Marek, he will brave the madness of space and the dangers of an alien world. But there is more to this world than meets the eye. Secrets are buried here, in its earth and in its history. Uncovering them could hold the keys to planet Earth's salvation as well as its past. But time is against Jerry Cornelius. His friend has gone mad, his wife has gone missing, and with each tick of the clock planet Earth draws closer to its end. Bereft of friends, loved ones, and all he has ever known, Jerry Cornelius will hold the fates of two worlds in his hands. It will take all his strength, smarts, and courage to save everyone in time ...and even that might not be enough in the end.

Jerry and Catherine Cornelius are intrepid space explorers of the United Nations Space Command.
The married couple are to take the spaceship The Hope of Man to Alpha Centauri, to check it out.
When they arrive, amazingly they find other humans there, with a completely different society. They run into problems with the local customs and have to leave.

Science fiction for pre school children

Format:Paperback
The title of this review says exactly how I feel about this novel.The two heroes are sent in a spaceships to a nearby star to find habitable planets. They find humans there!. there is no explanation whatsoever how this has occurred, no new ideas, no antastic setting or fantastic aliens and no interesting plot. It feels like a bedtime story to be told to children. A complete waste of effort.
