In the near future, Earth becomes caught in the middle of an
extraterrestrial turf war when the human species finds itself
hopelessly entangled in a race between two alien species-the Octans
and the Jubans-to colonize the galaxy. At a time when Earth's
resources are stretched beyond their limits, the Octans, a
seemingly benevolent species, offer Earth advanced technology to
help resolve its food and energy crises if they will help in the
colonization of distant planets. The Octans also promise to provide
the colonists with their basic needs in order to thrive on their
new home worlds-food, clothing and shelter. Planning expert Mike
Silver shocks his family and friends by joining a colony destined
for the supposedly uninhabited planet Kepler 14b. He steps up and
is quickly elected city planner-only to find himself appointed
mayor right before the colonists leave Earth. Unknown to either the
Octans or the humans, a clandestine team of the competing alien
species-the Jubans-is sent to Earth to disrupt the formation of the
human colonies. The new colonists quickly learn that their
uninhabited home is anything but. Kepler is full of countless new
and strange animals and several cave-dwelling tribes. The colonists
struggle to adapt, but just as the colony appears successful,
Mike's abilities are further tested. He must assume multiple roles
as an Octan ambassador, justice, and even sheriff to help resolve
problems that are threatening the very survival of the far-flung
human colonies. When both the Octans and the Jubans lay claim to
the same colony, Mike must step up his game like never before as he
now represents Earth in negotiations to prevent a resumption of
hostilities between the two alien species.
