After the first test in space, things go horribly wrong. His project and the future of humankind is threatened. Now he finds himself forced to travel beyond the moon, farther than any human has traveled before in an attempt to fix the problem he caused. His sacrifice to try and save humanity sends him on a one-way trip into the deep emptiness of space with the woman he loves, but the universe may still hold a few surprises for him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dan develops characters and sets this book up very well. His writing style has a way of establishing vividly descriptive scenes that keep your attention without overdoing the details. Leaving Earth catches you right away and keeps you interested in the story with every page. Recommend this to anyone that enjoys stories about space travel in general and the endeavor for survival. Looking forward to seeing what happens next!<\/span><\/p>\n                    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; font-family: &quot;Amazon Ember&quot;, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(15, 17, 17);\">-Amazon review for Leaving Earth, posted 19 December 2022<\/span><\/p>\n                  <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div data-colibri-id=\"192-c39\" class=\"h-divider style-416 style-local-192-c39 position-relative h-element\">\n                  <!----><span class=\"h-divider__line style-416-line style-local-192-c39-line style-416-line style-local-192-c39-line\"><\/span><\/div>\n                <div data-colibri-id=\"192-c40\" class=\"h-text h-text-component style-411 style-local-192-c40 position-relative h-element\">\n                  <!---->\n                  <!---->\n                  <div class=\"\">\n                    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; font-family: &quot;Amazon Ember&quot;, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(15, 17, 17);\">Great Story!<\/span><\/p>\n                    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; font-family: &quot;Amazon Ember&quot;, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(15, 17, 17);\">Dan Adam is a new author who&#8217;s first book is a winner! Realistic characters are developed with enough description so the reader really gets to know &amp; care about them. Dialogues between them are comfortable &amp; authentic. The entire book reads at a good pace, from the engaging opening pages and development of the story line, through the presentation of the terrifying catastrophe inadvertently set in motion by our hero, to the unusual ending. It will keep your interest &amp; call you back after every break &#8211; you want to know what happens! The length is appropriate and the closure very satisfying. I have only one criticism &#8211; when is a publisher going to pick this author up??? I want a sequel!! I want other books!! Somebody get this guy an agent!!<\/span><\/p>\n                    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; font-family: &quot;Amazon Ember&quot;, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(15, 17, 17);\">-Amazon review for Leaving Earth, posted 21 December 2022<\/span><\/p>\n                  <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div data-colibri-id=\"192-c41\" class=\"h-divider style-418 style-local-192-c41 position-relative h-element\">\n                  <!----><span class=\"h-divider__line style-418-line style-local-192-c41-line style-418-line style-local-192-c41-line\"><\/span><\/div>\n                <div data-colibri-id=\"192-c42\" class=\"h-text h-text-component style-412 style-local-192-c42 position-relative h-element\">\n                  <!---->\n                  <!---->\n                  <div class=\"\">\n                    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; font-family: &quot;Amazon Ember&quot;, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(15, 17, 17);\">Fantastic story with a strongly described narrative!<\/span><\/p>\n                    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; font-family: &quot;Amazon Ember&quot;, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(15, 17, 17);\">&#8216;This story starts off lining up politics and public interest of today to draw a near identical comparison against how the book begins. From there it takes you on a ride of how space exploration might take off in the future. The technical side of the novel is neatly aligned against actual technology and by the mid-point, calls into question whether we should be delving into technology that we don&#8217;t fully understand. The whirlwind of a ride to rescue stranded astronauts and save the future of mankind keeps you reading more. The end of the book leaves you wanting more and looking forward to the next book in the sequel. I can&#8217;t wait for it to come out so I can find out what happens next!<\/span><\/p>\n                    <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; font-family: &quot;Amazon Ember&quot;, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(15, 17, 17);\">-Amazon review for Leaving Earth, posted 30 December 2022<\/span><\/p>\n                  <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div data-colibri-component=\"section\" data-colibri-id=\"192-c43\" id=\"purchase\" class=\"h-section h-section-global-spacing d-flex align-items-lg-center align-items-md-center align-items-center style-396 style-local-192-c43 position-relative\">\n    <!---->\n    <!---->\n    <div class=\"h-section-grid-container h-section-boxed-container\">\n      <!---->\n      <div data-colibri-id=\"192-c44\" class=\"h-row-container gutters-row-lg-2 gutters-row-md-2 gutters-row-0 gutters-row-v-lg-2 gutters-row-v-md-2 gutters-row-v-2 style-397 style-local-192-c44 position-relative\">\n        <!---->\n        <div class=\"h-row justify-content-lg-center justify-content-md-center justify-content-center align-items-lg-stretch align-items-md-stretch align-items-stretch gutters-col-lg-2 gutters-col-md-2 gutters-col-0 gutters-col-v-lg-2 gutters-col-v-md-2 gutters-col-v-2\">\n          <!---->\n          <div class=\"h-column h-column-container d-flex h-col-lg-auto h-col-md-auto h-col-auto style-398-outer style-local-192-c45-outer\">\n            <div data-colibri-id=\"192-c45\" class=\"d-flex h-flex-basis h-column__inner h-px-lg-2 h-px-md-2 h-px-2 v-inner-lg-2 v-inner-md-2 v-inner-2 style-398 style-local-192-c45 position-relative\">\n              <!---->\n              <!---->\n              <div class=\"w-100 h-y-container h-column__content h-column__v-align flex-basis-100 align-self-lg-start align-self-md-start align-self-start\">\n                <!---->\n                <div data-colibri-id=\"192-c46\" class=\"h-x-container style-403 style-local-192-c46 position-relative h-element\">\n                  <!---->\n                  <div class=\"h-x-container-inner style-dynamic-192-c46-group style-403-spacing style-local-192-c46-spacing\"><span class=\"h-link__outer style-404-outer style-local-192-c47-outer d-inline-flex h-element\"><a h-use-smooth-scroll=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Leaving-Earth-Home-Book-ebook\/dp\/B0C99VJP1T\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2JIH1JHLTT30R&amp;keywords=leaving+earth+by+dan+adam&amp;qid=1688146621&amp;s=digital-text&amp;sprefix=%2Cdigital-text%2C83&amp;sr=1-1\" data-colibri-id=\"192-c47\" class=\"d-flex w-100 align-items-center h-link style-404 style-local-192-c47 position-relative\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><!----><span  class=\"h-svg-icon h-link__icon style-404-icon style-local-192-c47-icon\"><!--Icon by Font Awesome (https:\/\/fontawesome.com)-->\n    <svg version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" id=\"dollar\" viewBox=\"0 0 1128.1586 1896.0833\">\n      <path d=\"M978 1185q0 153-99.5 263.5T620 1585v175q0 14-9 23t-23 9H453q-13 0-22.5-9.5T421 1760v-175q-66-9-127.5-31T192 1509.5t-74-48-46.5-37.5-17.5-18q-17-21-2-41l103-135q7-10 23-12 15-2 24 9l2 2q113 99 243 125 37 8 74 8 81 0 142.5-43t61.5-122q0-28-15-53t-33.5-42-58.5-37.5-66-32-80-32.5q-39-16-61.5-25T349 948.5t-62.5-31T230 882t-53.5-42.5-43.5-49-35.5-58-21-66.5-8.5-78q0-138 98-242t255-134V32q0-13 9.5-22.5T453 0h135q14 0 23 9t9 23v176q57 6 110.5 23t87 33.5T881 302t39 29 15 14q17 18 5 38l-81 146q-8 15-23 16-14 3-27-7-3-3-14.5-12t-39-26.5-58.5-32-74.5-26T537 430q-95 0-155 43t-60 111q0 26 8.5 48t29.5 41.5 39.5 33 56 31 60.5 27 70 27.5q53 20 81 31.5t76 35 75.5 42.5 62 50 53 63.5T965 1091t13 94z\"><\/path>\n    <\/svg><\/span> <span>Purchase the ebook and paperback from Amazon here!<\/span><\/a>\n                    <\/span>\n                  <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synopsis Mike Abernathy is a mathematician that has developed a new form of space craft propulsion, hoping to drive a new era of space exploration.
