Race Through Space - Race Through Space, #1

Neil Webb and his best friend Marie are enjoying their first day of summer vacation when Neil receives a mysterious message from his father. In the message Neil finds out his father Stephen has been using wormholes to visit alien planets. Stephen was on his way to visit a hyper-intelligent species named the Teva when he and his best friend, world-famous scientist Dr. William Lowell, were caught in an alien war and stranded on an uncharted planet, triggering an emergency message to his son.
Neil and Marie must travel across the universe to either find his father and Dr. Lowell or finish his father's mission. A mission that will change the course of human civilization. Race Through Space is an adventure story that pays homage to the adventure movies from the 1980's and the real-life scientists that have shaped our understanding of the universe.
