In the new book “The Colony Called Beyond” by Michael L. Anderson, published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc, we follow a group of thirty scientists who are invited to work for a multinational company on Earth that owns a colony in the Kuiper Belt. Upon arriving at the colony called Beyond, they discover that their living quarters resemble more of a prison than a village. The scientists must use their scientific abilities to break out or face starvation as they navigate challenges such as illegal cloning, communication difficulties with Earth, and even a touch of romance.
Michael L. Anderson was born in Doniphan, Missouri and grew up on a farm where he learned the value of hard work. Despite struggling with dyslexia, he always aspired to become a writer.
