Overview
They were the first to leave Earth-and the last to arrive. The colony ship Aurora, humanity's most ambitious creation, launches from Saturn's orbit with one goal: reach Kepler-452b and establish a new home among the stars. Equipped with an experimental pre-warp drive that bends spacetime to shield against relativistic effects, the crew experiences only a year aboard the ship-while more than fourteen centuries pass beyond their hull. Captain Aveline Morrow leads a hand-picked crew into a future that has long forgotten them. Systems engineer Elena Park fights to keep a fragile mission alive as the boundaries of physics, technology, and human endurance are tested to their limits. And security officer John Ferris, grounded in instinct and discipline, becomes the one determined to uncover what humanity became while they were lost to time. What awaits them at journey's end is not the world they hoped to build-but the one that replaced them. For fans of The Expanse, Interstellar, and Mass Effect, Out of Time: Launch Point is the beginning of an epic saga of exploration, survival, and the unrelenting gravity of time itself.

Author Information
Ken Bandoly is a science fiction author, Marine Corps veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, IT engineer, and father of two. His stories are born from hard-earned resilience and a relentless curiosity about what happens when humanity is pushed to the edge of extinction-and beyond. After years in the tech world and tours in warzones, Ken turned his focus to the stars, exploring deep philosophical questions through fast-paced, character-driven adventures. His Out Of Time series fuses speculative science, military grit, and emotional depth in a future where survival depends on more than just firepower. When he's not writing or debugging code, you'll find him hobby farming, crafting, exploring wormhole physics, or how much caffeine is too much.
