Love Nebula: Is deep space loveless ?

Of course, we have landed on the moon and Mars, but these are by no means powerful spaceships capable of intergalactic travels.

Let’s think for a minute that we stop our egoistic attitude towards the unknown, and admit that more advanced civilisations could already be busy, extracting whatever they can find in the universe to survive, conquer or fulfil various subjective purposes.

As a teenager, my head was often pointed to the stars, I observed the night sky almost every evening. Through a small telescope, I had bought with my hard-earned cash, as many beginner astronomers would do, I was able to gaze at billions of stars and galaxies just above my head. My soul was then filled with imaginary destinations and intergalactic adventures.

My telescope was not very powerful, but looking at distant planets had nothing to do with fantasy. It was a true image, this optical device got me closer, I could finally ‘touch’ the universe. Being able to focus and select a specific object in the sky, boosted my sense of belonging.

Even today, not so many of us could say that they have ever seen the rings of Saturn through a telescope, and this is precisely my point. We are billions of human beings and yet, only a handful of us have ever discovered deep space.

Don’t get me wrong. This book is not a guide to the galaxy. It is a love story.

You probably know me by now, the only literature I feel comfortable writing is about emotions. A love story in deep space is certainly not an easy task, many novelists probably crushed their teeth trying to write one.

This story takes Jeremy, a young man living in Cornwall, England, straight onto a distant planet.

Will he ever come back to Earth?

Let's find out !
