Nine hundred years in the future, a peaceful but struggling humanity reaches out from Earth, looking for planets, looking for people, looking for their place in the galaxy. They find more than they bargained for. Book 1: The Sundering ​ Far in the outer sectors, the supply chain from Earth is stretched to the breaking point. Ships can only jump between stars using an ancient alien transportation system called the a-rings. But now, someone or something is jumping into human space, destroying the a-rings, and trapping people on rundown space stations. ​ C argo captain Beezan Mirage, one of the few people that can jump, has sacrificed eight years as a solo pilot delivering critical supplies to keep space stations operational. For Beezan, it's better to be alone than suffer the loss of another crew. Runaway Jarvie Atikameq makes a desperate move to get away from teen training school, onto a ship, and back to his last surviving shipmate. He may be the only person with a clue to what's really happening with the mysterious a-ring accidents. They never meant to change history. ​ Non-violent First Contact Science Fiction Adventure
