Jerry Oltion is a Eugene science fiction writer. I tried two other books of his and didn’t much like them, but I did like this one. When a friend of theirs develops a drive that enables interstellar travel in a converted pickup truck, Trent and his wife Donna decide to leave an increasingly dictatorial America and visit some other planets with an eye toward possibly settling on one. Their computer malfunctions and they are stranded several thousand light years from Earth. Light entertainment with a satisfying ending.
