The ultimate voyage of discovery ends with the truth about yourself.

Michael Anderson never thought he would set foot on an Earthlike world. Born on the farthest edge of the solar system, he studies planets from afar. But when his parents open a wormhole and discover signs of intelligent life on the other side, Michael is the only planetologist young enough to voyage to the alien star.

He is not alone, but Terra, his sole mission partner, is no more of an adult than he is. Soon after their arrival, she begins keeping secrets from him. But she doesn’t realize that her darkest secret is one that he already knows.

Twenty light-years away from humanity, what they discover on the alien world forces them to question their deepest beliefs about the universe—and about what it means to be human.

Hard times bring out the greatness in men, and those who give all are changed forever.

When James got stuck with dockyard duty while his older brother and sister went planetside, he never thought it could be the last time he’d see them. But shortly after they leave, a Hameji battle fleet invades the star system, turning it into a deadly war zone.

As James flees with his father on the family starship, he can only look on as the Hameji reduce the planet to molten slag. But his sister isn’t dead. When James learns that she’s been captured and enslaved, he vows to save her, no matter the cost.

James isn’t a warrior. He’s never killed a man before, and doesn’t know if he could. But if that’s what it takes to save his sister, he’ll become whatever he needs to be—even if there’s no going back.
