It is the forty-first century. Falling prey to unimagined solar processes, the sun has exploded and destroyed the Earth. Thousands of survivors move outward into space aboard the Space Star Silver Streak. Thirteen years have passed as they search for habitable planets to colonize. Now, with the ship almost emptied, the mission nearly at an end, the most recently established colony signals distress. Something huge, ominous, mysterious, and inexplicable is wandering through the galaxy. Ten years ago Captain Richard Cameron resigned from command. Faced with a new and completely unexplained crisis, he returns to the bridge, reunites his old crew, and sets off on a voyage that may mean the end of his career or the salvation of civilization--or both! A voyage to the limits of knowledge, a voyage to the height of human potential... A voyage into the unknown!

In the summer of 1803, Thomas Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on a journey to establish an American presence in a land of unqualified natural resources and riches. Is it fitting that, on the 200th anniversary of that expedition, the United States, together with international partners, should embark on another journey of exploration in a vastly more extensive region of remarkable potential for discovery. Although the oceans cover more than 70 percent of our planet's surface, much of the ocean has been investigated in only a cursory sense, and many areas have not been investigated at all. Exploration of the Seas assesses the feasibility and potential value of implementing a major, coordinated, international program of ocean exploration and discovery. The study committee surveys national and international ocean programs and strategies for cooperation between governments, institutions, and ocean scientists and explorers, identifying strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in these activities. Based primarily on existing documents, the committee summarizes priority areas for ocean research and exploration and examines existing plans for advancing ocean exploration and knowledge.
