About the Book:
When the solar system’s key asteroid mine is seized by revolutionaries, it
puts the secret mission of the spaceship Ulysses in jeopardy. Without a
refueling launch from the asteroid, the survival of the ship and its crew is
uncertain. The safest course for the Ulysses? Abandon the mission and limp
home.
But Cal Scott, captain of the Ulysses, is an astronaut of the old school
and failure is not an option. He has a plan: head straight for the asteroid
belt and get their fuel—one way or another.

About the Author:
R. Peter Keith is the creative director of a NASA Space Act Agreement
partner company that specializes in the design, fabrication, and exhibition
of museum exhibits and interactive experiences. He’s flown the
NASA-Langley Lunar Lander Simulator to a landing in front of the Moon
McDonalds* and has spent research time inside an original Apollo LM and the
Orion Spacecraft with one of its engineers.
For the past five years, Keith collaborated with NASA to produce a
simulation-based exhibition that focused on the basic concepts of
spaceflight and their possible application in the colonization of our solar
system. On its premiere, the exhibit broke all attendance records for
Space Center Houston, the official NASA Visitor Center for the Johnson Space
Center, home of the astronaut program. The many long, thoughtful, and
technical conversations with NASA experts and advisors from Houston, Langley
and JPL that occurred during the creation of this exhibition and its seven
simulations and related programs provided the germ of the idea that became
the WINE-DARK DEEP series.
Keith lives in Vermont with his wife, kids, and dogs. He has hung on
to an old car for so long it has become cool again and has done the same
with a few pairs of pants. He has an unreasonable love for all speculative
fiction, having grown up with both classic literary and film works as well
as the wonders of Marvel comics, Star Trek and Star Blazers. He’s an
avid video game fan as well as a voracious reader.
*There really is a McDonalds on the moon in that NASA simulator. He
has pics.
