Imagine a world, exactly like ours, but different…

Welcome to the H2LiftShips series, a cosmic romp fans have compared to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy for its witty quirkiness, and that critics hail as "The most unique and weirdest book series out there."

Captain Graciela is where she wants to be, far from her controlling mother, in a rented solar sail cargo ship, trading and gambling throughout the heliosphere. It can be lonely in the void, but the crew on the H2LiftShip, the LunaCola, is all the help she needs: Jack, a talking dog with a nose for Earth jerky, Tang, a poker-obsessed orangutan, and Octopus, in his watery navigation station, are her constant companions on her journey.

In book one, Beyond Luna, the crew sets off on a space adventure that has them crossing paths with everything from pirates, anarchists, and poker players, to jail time. Part action-adventure space opera and part tech manual of a possible future, the H2LiftShips series imagines a world where hydrogen balloons lift solar sail ships through outer space to trade goods across planets and asteroids. Here, commerce is the name of the game.

Even in deep space, there is no avoiding family issues. When Graciela inadvertently meets her duplicitous mother on a distant rock, it ignites a family showdown between pirates, thieves, and gamblers. Will Graciela rescue her mother and win it all in a rigged card game, or will the crew lose everything?

Find out in the first volume of the H2LiftShips series – Beyond Luna, where lovers of science, astronomy, chemistry, physics, engineering, and good old-fashioned sci-fi fun will never be the same after their ride on an H2LiftShip.
