Mission

Any good science fiction fan can quote the opening to the Star Trek series: "These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her continuing mission - to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before." Every adventure begins with a mission.

Our mission is simple.  We want to provide a venue for the publication and discussion of quality science fiction with a spiritual dimension.

In pursuing that mission, we, too, will "explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, and we will boldly go where no one has gone before," if only through the words and imaginations of our authors and readers. It's a wonderful adventure. Thanks for joining us.
