Message from Hades

Proserpina: Ice hell at the Pavonis Delta

The spaceship Proserpina is almost at its destination, in the solar system of the delta pavonis, where it hopes to find a planet suitable for colonisation. Thirty thousand passengers awake from cryosleep to be confronted with a terrible realization - their ship is on a collision course with a giant comet and the collision is inevitable. Waco Teirange, navigator and by necessity captain of the ship, has the daunting task of saving Proserpina, the settlers and the mission. Before they reach their dream planet, they must survive the icy hell called Hades. Thrilling and well-written science fiction by the talented young author Edita Dufková combines the best of the classics of the genre and modern trends. The story is not lacking in ingenious plot, compelling human fates, interesting technical findings and informed problem solving.
