MOONRISER by Spundan Dasgupta

The Search For A Lost Behemoth

A brave soldier's struggle to find a lost spaceship... and his father.

Moonriser

IF NOT THE SUN, BE LIKE THE MOON

It is the 23rd century, the world is no longer a group of warring nations trying to kill each other. Space travel is a reality and with Earth slowly becoming a small place to live in due to depleted resources and increased population, other worlds were sought out and in a span of a few years a number of planets were successfully colonized.

While advancements in all spheres were going on, within the shadows rose a violent political faction comprising of people who did not believe in the philosophy of a unified world. War erupted again, a unified world against a single faction that led to heavy casualties on both sides. While all options to curb the violence seems to be running out, the ISS – Indian Space Service – assigns a squad of brave soldiers to embark on a perilous journey to find a lost asset.

Said to be one of the most powerful and advanced starships ever created, the ship along with its crew disappeared in the most mysterious of circumstances and was deemed MIA – Missing in Action. As a last resort, the squad lead by Lieutenant Commander Sudhir Sinha, attempts to achieve what was said to be impossible a long time back – solve the mystery of the starship’s disappearance and bring it back in one piece. They called it – The ISS MOONRISER.

Sample text:

They called it the ISS MOONRISER. It was the largest assault cruiser ever built and served the Indian Space Service for 15 years. Unlike other starships that ranged from 500 ft to 2500 ft, MOONRISER was 5000 ft in length. However, what was the reason for the ISS to build a ship that huge? The answer was simple… the rise of a violent political faction – THE FIRE.

History is boring but if I have to bring in any sense to what I am talking about, I have to provide the details so bear with me for a few moments.

It was year 2219, the world is no more a group of ‘warring’ nations trying to kill each other… or abuse each other. About 50 years ago, the leaders of every country realized that they had to work together to ensure the survival of our future 

generation. Earth was slowly becoming a small place for every living being and therefore, we had to sought out other worlds for colonization.

The WRDO – World Research and Development Organization – was formed under the guidance of all world leaders. Moon and Mars were already colonized during that period and there was a massive transfer of people, animal, plants and resources. 2 space stations were built that lead to more transfer. However, this was only a temporary solution and the leaders had to think ahead of their time.

A breakthrough occurred when a seasoned scientist, Dr. Sam Wilkins was able to successfully test a warp gate that could help in the transfer of any object, living or non-living, between one destination to another within seconds. It was obvious that he needed funds and support to continue this project. The WRDO was impressed and decided to support the scientist.
