After a one-month launch delay, Apollo 13 lands in the Fra Mauro Highlands of the moon-and then the trouble starts.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first in a series of what-if stories from the golden age of space exploration, \u003ci\u003eZero Phase\u003c\/i\u003e was written based on meticulous research, and with assistance from two Apollo astronauts: Dr. Edgar Mitchell, who visited the Fra Mauro Highlands-and Captain Jim Lovell, who was supposed to. Dramatic, detailed, and finely written, this novella is a must-read for space aficionados and literary enthusiasts alike.\u003cbr\u003eThe titles in the \u003ci\u003eAltered Space\u003c\/i\u003e series are wholly separate narratives, but all deal with the mysteries of space and time, progress and circularity. Each one is an ensō of words in which orbits of spacecraft, moons, planets, and people allow us fresh perspectives on the cycles of our own lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMr. Brennan earned a B.S. in European History from the United States Military Academy at West Point and an M.S. in Journalism from Columbia University in New York. He's the author of \u003ci\u003eResistance\u003c\/i\u003e, and a series of space books including \u003ci\u003eZero Phase\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePublic Loneliness\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIsland of Clouds\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eInfinite Blues\u003c\/i\u003e, and the forthcoming \u003ci\u003eAlone on the Moon\u003c\/i\u003e. He's done extensive original research for his space titles, including interviews with former astronauts (some of whom have walked on the moon) and technical consultation with retired NASA engineers, but budgetary constraints have prevented on-site outer space research. (So far.) His writing has appeared in the \u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHypertext Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Good Men Project\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eInnerview Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e.
