July 21 2011 was the final date of NASA's last space exploration flight. In part one of this fictionalized series of that flight, the crew comes into first contact with alien extraterrestrials who discover the Atlantis space shuttle as they are finishing their last few orbits around Earth. If earthlings are stunned at this UFO sighting, the aliens are even more stunned. . .
(note: all people in this novel are fictionalized characters who have no relationship or bearing with anyone in the space program past or present.)
Please note that an omnibus edition containing parts 1, 2, & 3 is also available.
