UMO: A Chilling Tale of First Contact (The Rorschach Explorer Missions)
Buckle up for this chilling novella tale of first contact!
When three probes sent to Mars suffer suspicious catastrophic failures, a clandestine manned mission is dispatched to investigate the probes' wreckage for clues to explain their demise.
A skeleton crew of three, led by Lt. Col Avery Lockett, embarks on the mission aboard the spaceship Cetus Prime knowing full well the danger awaiting them. UMOs, or unidentified magnetic objects.
Disavowed for decades by space officials as nothing more than harmless, amoeba-like blobs of electromagnetic energy, UMOs are far more lethal than they appear. For if they sense a threat, they swarm and attack. And Cetus Prime is ill-equipped to fend them off and too slow to escape.
UMO, a novella, is the prequel to Skywave, book 1 of The Rorschach Explorer Missions, a new sci-fi thriller series from mystery-thriller author K. Patrick Donoghue. The prologue from Skywave is included as a free bonus chapter in UMO.
