To end a famine, the people of Qaralon have been driven to the
stars in search of a good farming planet; now, the scouts have
finally found one teeming with life. The problem is, it's also
teeming with humans, a stubborn species that doesn't give up
without a fight. After fifty years of brutal war, Earth is trying
to find balance, peace, and hope once again.
Born and raised on his parents' ship, the Universe Explorer,
during the war, Jonathon Casey is a true child of the stars.
Everyone assumes that he will run his own ship one day, but
Jonathon had other ideas. He becomes a child therapist instead-but
he can't resist the call of the open skies for long and returns to
space to protect the earth.
But now that the fighting has ended, his attentions shift back
to caring for the children of war, those innocents who have lost
everything. Despite the best efforts to protect them, many are
damaged, scarred, and lost. For those left behind, the
government-run homes are far from a safe sanctuary. The kids do
whatever they need to do to survive on the streets, and it is to
this group of scrappy survivors that he was drawn.
To bring his new dream to life, Jonathon pulls the old family
spaceship out of retirement and recruits twenty boys from the
streets for his new crew. Not even Captain Casey could have
predicted what these young men were capable of when put to the
test.
