Books with author Chris Bennett

It’s the spring of 1987 and Syd Siegfried has won a mysterious atlas that will take him on an incredible journey—but what starts as an exciting trek through Philadelphia suddenly becomes a perilous adventure into the wildest unknown. With the help of his plucky daughter and an eccentric group of misfits, Syd will need to follow the clues and solve the atlas in order to get home – but when they uncover a shocking secret, nothing can prepare them for what comes next…

It's the year 4173. Humans mastered space travel a long time ago and left Earth to find greener pastures on faraway planets. Before they left, however, they created thousands upon thousands of super intelligent robots. Sadly, the robots were left behind on Earth by their former human companions, so they did what any group of super intelligent robots left behind on Earth would do - they cloned dinosaurs to be their friends! Did I mention that when they cloned the dinosaurs they gave them bigger brains so they could talk? Well, they did. So there you have it - it's the distant future, in a world of robots and dinosaurs.

The Starship Rhea has discovered a cluster of carbon planets that seems to be the source of the quantum energies rippling through a section of space. A landing party finds unusual life-forms inhabiting one of the planets. One officer, Lieutenant T'Ryssa Chen -- a half-Vulcan -- makes a tenuous connection with them. But before any progress can be made, the Rhea comes under attack from the Einstein -- a Starfleet vessel now controlled by the Borg. The landing party can only listen in horror as their comrades are assimilated. The Borg descend to the planet, and just as Chen accepts that she will be assimilated, the lieutenant is whisked two thousand light-years away. A quantum slipstream -- instantaneous transportation -- is controlled by these beings in the cluster, and in the heart of the cluster there is now a Borg ship. Cut off from the rest of the Borg collective, the Einstein cannot be allowed to rejoin it. For the sake of humanity, the Borg cannot gain access to quantum slipstream technology. Starfleet Command gives Captain Picard carte blanche: do whatever he must to help the beings in the cluster, and stop the Einstein no matter the cost.
