About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. A short mythic fable about grit, grease, and the impossible.
Nobody sees Jo leave. One moment the farm is asleep; the next, the barn roof rolls open and a hand-built iron ship blasts its way into the sky.
A woman from Nebraska—quiet, stubborn, with a samurai’s bloodline—has spent long nights with a sledgehammer and a welding torch in her barn. Now she flies the ship past the moon, through gravity wells and solar gales, and into the blazing fury of a star that roars in her mind and forbids her to come closer. With a church bell welded to a railroad chain and a hymn her grandmother sang in Japan, she dares anyway.

About the author
Daniel wrote Interstellar Crew longhand at thirteen, becoming Israel's youngest published novelist. After military service and a move to Australia, he mastered English one word-list at a time. A year later, the peer-reviewed journal Foundation featured his essay on William Gibson. Decades of detours, dead ends, and one environmental tome later, he returned to speculative fiction at fifty and hasn't looked back. Daniel has two stand-alone sci-fi novels coming in 2026. Now based in the American Southwest, Daniel writes stories driven by wonder and with no patience for literary fashion. As he sees it, what is possible-or can be imagined-is a wide-open country.
