About This Book

“As if by mutual consent, all three stopped talking and just relaxed, gazing enraptured at the unwinking glory of the Milky Way seen without the obstruction and distortion of even the clearest night on earth, And a glorious sight it was â€" a three-sided panorama. There were stars to the left, to the right, and forward, but the fourth side, the rear, was complete darkness â€" darker than the inside of a coal mine â€" darkness utter and absolute.” -from In Our Own Backyard by John Kanca.

A wonderfully written science fiction novel, In Our Own Backyard combines the excitement of space battle and the intrigue of the unknown to deliver an entertaining adventure that takes place 300 years in the future. Author John Kanca explores his own imagination and shares ideas about what actually exists in space beyond the planets and stars.

On a quest to investigate the mystery of the disappearance of two research teams, a third team travels to the unknown stars to search for answers. Plagued with personal and emotional battles among the crew, these escapades will entertain the reader with issues of human nature as well as scientific phenomena.
