song called "Hustlin'" changed his life forever. From his first

feuds he had to transcend along the way, Hurricanes is a revealing
portrait of one of the biggest stars in the rap game and an
intimate look at the birth of an artist.

Wayne Freed is the "Umea Bakearen," chosen from birth to be an
agent of peace. He was instrumental in bringing not only Earth, but
also the peaceful system of Vega into the Galactic Union. In the
process, he uncovered a plot by Polaris to subjugate Vega.
Humiliated, the Polarans withdrew from the Union and declared war.
Five years later, Wayne is one of Vega's staunchest defenders.
Though fighting is fierce in the Vega System, the rest of the
galaxy is relatively quiet. Five years of providing aid has put a
strain on the economy, and many are advocating abandoning the
system. Wayne suspects that there is a deeper, more sinister
purpose than mere control of Vega behind the Polarans' attacks. He
digs into historical records for evidence to support his theory.
What he finds will change everything.
Wayne Freed always suspected that he didn't quite fit in. His
suspicions were confirmed when he learned that he was not from
Earth at all. His adoptive father told him that he was "Umea
Bakearen," a child whose existence had kept Earth out of a war
which would surely mean its destruction. Now, as an adult, he has
settled into the life of an ambassador to the greater galactic
community. He meets Ben Elan, the other "Umea Bakearen," with whom
he switched places. Though initially jealous of one another, the
two young men become fast friends. They vacation together, share
stories of life on their respective planets, and even meet and
marry twin sisters. As they balance love and relationships with
their duties as "Umea Bakearen," they are renowned celebrities
throughout the galaxy, except on Earth, where almost the entire
population is blissfully unaware of the treaty that has prevented
its destruction for over twenty years. That is all about to change,
however, because someone wants to keep Earth out of the Union, and
they are willing to kill both of the "Umea Bakearen" to ensure it
never happens
