The Flight of the Solar Archangel
What if the universe is infinite? Our lump of space-time a domain? One among an infinite number of domains?
What if our domain is cyclic? Big Bang to Big Crunch - and over again?
What if halting collapse was possible?
What if God didn't want that to happen?
The struggle began in the 21st century - humanity against an elusive, unknown and faceless agent of destruction. The first years went badly for Earth and only intervention by a third party staved off an early demise. But now those offworld allies have been absent for five hundred years and mankind has been pushed to the brink of extinction.
The last colony on Earth and the mountain fortress that defends it face reduction by an implacable mechanized horde. Two men and a woman race to cross a desolate and barren wasteland. They must reach a subterranean refuge, there to launch an orbital craft. Solar Archangel is the last best hope, for in high earth orbit lies a derelict Chao-Vithri warship, the only weapon that can defeat the Oo'ahan - an antagonist whose form and purpose remains a mystery.

Flight of the Solar Archangel
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.
