Stealing the Sun, a space-based Science Fiction series from frequent Analog contributor and bestselling Amazon Science Fiction author Ron Collins STARFLIGHT Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Everguard’s mission was simple: Establish a multidimensional gate inside Alpha Centauri A so Interstellar Command could fuel their new faster-than-light spacecraft. But Lieutenant Commander Torrance Black, whose career is already on shaky grounds, finds himself facing questions his captain doesn’t want to touch.

Torrance can’t ignore the data, but his CO wants him to keep his nose clean and the ship’s government officer is hoping to toss him into the brig. To find the truth, Torrance will risk what’s left of his career and maybe a whole lot more. ------------------------------------- "Ron Collins is one of our best hard science fiction writers—a novel from him is a major event.
