It’s been over six months since Ethan has seen his best friend, Charlie. Doubt and worry that he’ll never see him again begin to creep in when Charlie makes his sudden appearance. Getting kidnapped, waking up on a cold metal slab, and being shoved into slavery were not on the agenda....

Charlie is just your average teenage boy living a normal life until it flips upside down. Learning you're adopted is hard enough, but learning that your parents are genius scientists that are labeled crazy for their work; that's an entirely new level of insane....

Waking from a six-year stasis, Captain Kari Hanley - along with her Lieutenant Jeff Mooney - is ready to complete her mission; to find a possible inhabitable planet deeper in our solar system....

When Molly disappears, all Charlie gets is a ransom and a warning that if he refuses to comply, Molly will take her only space walk. He’s refused to bring her into his world to keep her safe, and now she’s in danger....

Destiny is a strange thing. Changing our life paths dramatically with every twist and turn. Nothing held more true for Captain Kari Hanley....
