Destiny meets the Starship Aelita . . .
A remarkable journey across the galaxy begins in 2037 as Earth emerges from a ruinous decade of war and terror. There is a widespread shortage of energy and a surge in global warming. And even while at peace, old loyalties and animosities between countries rack the political landscape. The first manned mission to Mars in the Starship Aelita—a technological marvel commanded by the heroic but deeply flawed Captain Adam Sietzer—proposes to further reunify the world and lead the way into a harmonious and robust future.
But then an unnerving string of events, including sabotage, an attempted murder, and the emergence of the first sentient machine, challenges the crew to look within themselves for the courage and wisdom to survive. Enormous sacrifices are made until their path to self-discovery is joined to the interplanetary quest for knowledge.
The Astral Imperative To find the source, to traverse the heavens, and penetrate the mind of God.

I found this book to be an excellent read. The sub-plots fit together well, keeping me interested and on my toes. I found it hard to put the book down, as the story always left me wanting to know where the next twist would take me. I just ordered Volume II.Product details

The Astral Imperative Vol I The Dream eBook Robert Dresner Reviews
i bought this book in a local boulder bookstore just looking for a quick read on the flight back to LA and i was just blown away!...this book is incredible i dont know how this has not gained any mainstream press. This book is an amazing unknown book of pure genius not to mention there is more to come as per the back cover. Robert Dresner is on the brink of stardom, A MUST READ!!
The story line really hooked me, which helped me overlook some of the awkward dialogue and thin character development and sense-of-place that left me wanting more. I found myself thinking about the story while away from the book, and itching to get back to it. No doubt, it's a great debut novel. ...and I definitely want to track down the next volume.
I too picked up this book at the bookstore in Boulder. I almost didn't finish it but I'm glad I hung in there and will be reading the second one in the series, hoping that his writing gets better. The author is not a story-teller. The characters are flat and transitions between scenes are exceedingly awkward. There's no tension--there's no insight into why the characters think they way they do. The story is compelling but just not well done.
Fortunately this book has an intriguing cover image. I had been randomly browsing the Boulder Bookstore recently and came across this gem. I am a fan of both sci-fi and non-fiction science. I also like a good story! Without a doubt, this book had me hooked from the beginning. Perhaps my own selfish desire to explore space one day was taken advantage of; the author puts together a very compelling narrative of modern space exploration, yet includes enough fantasy to make it enjoyable. The cast is phenomenal; without spoiling anything, I must say I became quite emotionally attached to this crew and their Earthbound compatriots, especially in the latter half of the novel.
This novel is a unique experience; like other commentors, I am surprised I had not heard of this elsewhere. Being the first edition, published barely a year ago, the book can hardly be blamed for a few minor typos/grammar errors, notable but nothing that detracted from the experience in total. It was well worth the purchase, indeed I can't wait to continue the series when the 2nd and 3rd parts arrive at my door later this week!
I presume the author is only getting his feet wet in this genre of writing, as briefly mentioned in the intro. But as a first work, it's wonderful to see such talent from a new author. I hope to see more by Robert Dresner in the future.
I acquired this book thanks to a GoodReads.com Giveaway. I liked it, but as a whole the climax came late and there wasn't any real resolution. Instead of 3 separate 300 page books, I am guessing, it would have been better as one large novel.
It could have used some better editing and proof reading. There were numerous sentences I had to re-read to figure out there were extra words that shouldn't have been there. It killed the momentum.
All that being said I will definitely be looking for some used copies of Vol II & Vol III today, the story just started to get good and then it came to an abrupt end.
If all 3 Volumes were in one hardcover, properly proof read and edited, for about $25-30... I'd give it 5 stars.
VOL. I The Dream begins THE ASTRAL IMPERATIVE, an epic narrative of Robert Dresner's imaginative prose. A story about space exploration and mankind's heroic efforts to step foot on Mars that depicts scientific limitations and the ubiquitous hysteria that mankind so infrequently transcends. Dresner's characters ponder many post-modern themes, such as the reconciliation of man's religious past against the cynical angst of survival. The necessity to derive hope and idealism to manifest wide-spread purpose and meaning is so well expressed by Dresner's heroes. Likewise, he contrasts the beautiful inner spiritual thoughts of man with the mass consumed memes generated by the perceived positions of power. An excellent journey at any juncture in ones own personal growth, Dresner's writing has a tendency to re-affix one's own perspective on life and also maintain the spontaneity and unpredictability so prized in the imaginative fantasy genre.
Imagination and grit
I found this book to be an excellent read. The sub-plots fit together well, keeping me interested and on my toes. I found it hard to put the book down, as the story always left me wanting to know where the next twist would take me. I just ordered Volume II.
