To the Stars!It was a mission that no one but a Jackson would consider. But Ajax was reluctant, he had never lead such a mission, taking a lightsail powered starship from Earth to the Centauri system using the incomplete Starway. He thought that strong leadership would be needed.He was right.The leader would have to handle the normal amount of human drama, both petty and serious. He would also have to handle the accidents and incidents that would occur on a years long mission. But on this mission he would have to handle something else; direct sabotage by unknown individuals and indirect sabotage as a result of the crew's boredom and dereliction of duty.Ajax would have to grow as a leader and a person if the Starway Centauri mission was to succeed."First Interstellar" is the final story in the Future Chronology Series.
