Looks like this has been around, on and off, for a while. Just noticed a post on
SF Signal that it's still available as a
free ebook.
Quote:
The starship Starfarer is poised for our first voyage to another star system. The Alien Contact Team -- physicist Victoria Fraser MacKenzie, geneticist Stephen Thomas Gregory, geographer Satoshi Lono, and alien contact specialist J.D. Sauvage -- and the rest of the faculty and staff prepare for humanity's most ambitious exploratory expedition.
But the world has changed. A new regime orders the vessel to be abandoned. It will be turned into an instrument of war.
What do the Starfarers do?
They do what any red-blooded Alien Contact Team would do.
They steal the starship.
