Description: Late in the 23rd century, in view of the deteriorating environment here on Earth with massive climatic shifts, deadly disease epidemics and looming economic and technological collapse, world governments unanimously vote to build a giant (6 mile x 9 mile) ark ship in orbit around our planet. In one last desperate effort to safeguard our survival as a species, the ship was to carry a colony of people, plants and animals on an epic, one way mission to New Earth, a planet located in our neighboring solar system of Alpha Centauri. In a vigorous and competitive political battle and much bloodshed along the way, a colony crew of just 900 people manage to escape onboard the ark ship, placing their future destinies into their own hands on an immensely daring, 50,000 year long journey into the forever...

     Two thousand years into the voyage, as the ship travels further into deep space away from the bright neighbourhood of our own Sun, a future generation onboard begins to experience a series of psychologically disturbing nightmares. Mysterious creatures from the cosmic darkness are seen to approach the lonely ark ship from all directions in space and attack its occupants during sleep, putting the mission into jeopardy. In a desperate effort to safeguard their very survival, the ship’s 3,000-strong small town residents are forced into a battle which they seem powerless to win, since the nightmare creatures appear to be operating in an alternate dimension from their own.

     "First Ark to Alpha Centauri" is an epic tale of love, loneliness, nightmarish horror and action adventure, envisioning what could possibly become the most realistic way that humanity is likely to one day travel safely and comfortably to another solar system beyond our own.
