No one knew where it came from. No one knew what it could do. And, truth be told, no one cared. All that mattered was that it yielded the blueprints to a futuristic starship that would finally allow one small company of dreamers to reach out across the galaxy and venture into the unknown.
Ten years later, the ship, the ASEA Nikhadakiera leaves the Solar System and sets off on Earth's first interstellar mission. Led by the intrepid but impulsive Commander John Vance, the crew consists mainly of self-taught novices who are instructed by their eccentric boss to "get as far out there" as they can. But a few hours into their journey, the ship is sucked into an anomaly in space and stranded in an unknown galaxy.
Before they can even regain their balance, the crew becomes unwittingly tangled in a battle between two worlds, where they ultimately play a larger role than anyone expected. They had come to explore, but they end up fighting for their lives with no experience, no preparation, and no clue...

Nikhadakiera: The Improvisers
A pair of travellers voyage to the Moon in a capsule powered by anti-gravity material and meet the inhabitants. Much philosophising about the differences between Earth and Moon cultures ensues. No, not 'The first men in the Moon' by HG Wells but 'A voyage to the Moon' by George Tucker.
Considered by many to be the first American SF writer, George Tucker wrote this short novel in 1827, over 70 years before Wells' better known work.
Not only does Tucker imagine anti-gravity in the 19th century, he also speculates that the Moon was once part of the Earth - a concept not widely accepted as correct by geologists until quite recently.
If you are into block-busting page turners then this is not for you but for anyone interested in early science fiction it provides a good quick read.
