Life Probe

Life Probe

Makers: Book 1

Michael McCollum

The Makers are an advanced, intelligent alien species. For hundreds of millennia, they have been on the hunt for the secret to faster-than-light travel. Their chosen instruments were the far-reaching Life Probes, in hopes of encountering other advanced civilizations out among the stars.

After a 10,000 year long journey, one of these machines stumbles upon 22nd-century Earth. Upon arrival, the probe isn't quite sure that this planet contains anything that could be considered "advanced" or "intelligent".

But the Makers need help from humankind--the probe is damaged and must be repaired if their search for knowledge is to continue...

Procyon's Promise

Procyon's Promise

Makers: Book 2

Michael McCollum

For millennia, the Makers' Life Probes explored the farthest reaches of space in search of the secret behind faster-than-light speed. In the 22nd century, the people of Earth made a pact with this far-flung civilization--all of the Makers' intelligence in exchange for help in their mission.

Three hundred years later, descendants of the original Procyon expedition have returned to Earth in a starship. They find a world that has forgotten the generations-old contract.

No matter. The returning colonists have overcome far greater obstacles in their single-minded drive to redeem a promise made before any of them were born...
