Disgraced astronaut Mark Mitchell has only ever had one true mission—to find his little brother Joey, who was abducted by aliens from a crop circle when they were little. But when Mark’s hotshot piloting gets him grounded and the last of the public space program defunded, Mark loses his only means of finding Joey out in space.
Until Mark’s homemade scanning rig discovers the shocking truth about the crop circles—they’re instructions for space travel.
Mark will need to uncover the hidden messages that have been left on Earth for years, and reverse engineer the magic that can finally help him find Joey.
The New Space Age intertwines a science fiction story with the supernatural in such a perfect way, that it surprised me I hadn't heard this theory before.
