Stardust Dreams by S B Redstone

He's an astronaut.  He's also old and sick, very sick.  He has terminal cancer.  He also has a plan...

S B Redstone and Goddess Fish Blog Tours gave me the opportunity to read this book for review (thank you).  It has been published so you can grab a copy now.

Lance Forrester is going to take a chance.  If he stays on earth, he'll die for sure.  If he blasts into space, freezes himself and meets kind aliens, he'll have a chance to be healed and make some new friends.  It may be crazy but what's the other alternative?  The only thing he needs to acquire before he leaves is a companion.  He had one, another scientist.  But he died before the rocket was ready.  Then Lance reads about a woman who is also on her journey "out" due to illness and he went to school with her.  He visits her and pitches his idea.  She thinks he's nuts.  He leaves her his phone number and goes home to wait and see what happens.

This was an interesting read.  You never really know where the author is going with the story and it doesn't sound like anything I've read before.  (I read a book a day, so that's saying something.)  You have sharp mouthed old lady, an easy going and trusting astronaut and they meet up with an alien culture that lives forever and is bored.  The earth artifacts they bring with them fascinate the aliens and they mimic the humans they see in films or pictures.  

Lance's plans don't all work out but it does have a happy ending.  I prefer those.  I bet you can't predict how this will turn out either.  I sure couldn't.
