Download or read book The Great Galactic Treasure Hunt written by Ingo Potsch and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2017-02-19 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Galactic Treasure Hunt follows a number of individuals who for some reason or the other didn't make it in the densely populated, highly civilised worlds of the big states; often consisting of a large number of inhabited planets with many billions of citizen on each world. There, life is safe and orderly, well-regulated, tidy and highly controlled. The vast majority of individuals of all described species lives on such worlds; and they like their life there. Yet, some just don't fit in or feel that they don't and some just can't make it there. These take to the free areas of the galaxy, here anyone with the will to succeed can make it and find happiness; or the premature violent end, death by accident or predators, illness or starvation. Anyone can go there and be lucky to quench the thrust for freedom, success, and gold, or die by the plain old thirst of water. The Great Galactic Treasure Hunt begins with a few such adventurers who are on their way to new exploits, trying to test the limits of their luck again. Soon, some of them come together to better pursue their common interest with mutual support and travel together through the dangerous expanse of outer space. Over time, others join them and together they have to face severe dangers and hostile conditions. But even those who make it to reach their legendary destination still haven't made it yet, because a last persil has to be overcome. The Great Galactic Treasure Hunt plays in a distant future. Humanity and some other species have mastered hyperspace flight. They are now roaming all over the galaxy in their respective pursuit of happiness. There are highly advances, sophisticated, well-developed technical civilisations spreading along the major hyperspace travel routes. They are forming big states with many inhabited planets combining to powerful entities and alliances. Then, there are the so-called free areas of the galaxy, accessible through narrow rat-run paths traversing the superposed dimension. Big spaceships cannot reach those regions and thus they remain the preserve of adventurers. Those adventurers belong to different races and have mainly in common that they love their freedom, don't get along very well in overly civilised places, and travel with small vessels called hoppers, seating one or two individuals and some supplies at max. The story follows a number of adventurers on their way across the galaxy to a location where legend has it that an enormous treasure rests there, covered and hidden for ages and left behind by an ancient nation.
