It’s the beginning of the 22nd century. Captain Jerry Jerrison, head scientist for the first manned flight to explore the outer solar system, has dreamed of meeting aliens since childhood. As they approach Pluto, his ship encounters what seems to be an abandoned alien spaceship.
Muni, the sole occupant, is in a state of Deep Sleep. The ship’s AI (Artificial Intelligence) learns the human spaceship is failing. The AI tricks Jerrison and his crew into boarding the safer alien craft.
When Muni awakens, he pretends he came for the benefit of the human race.
Reality is more sinister. He is there to claim our solar system for his clan. If he fails, his entire family will be killed. Muni is their last hope. Human existence makes his claiming our solar system impossible.
As the novel progresses, Captain Jerrison and Muni must find a way to work together to save both Muni’s clan and the human race.
Morgi civilization will accept humans as True People if and only if Jerrison can personally prove human greatness. Jerrison the Scientist must become Jerrison the Warrior.
Morgi Law: Only against great odds can greatness be revealed.
The immense odds against Jerrison are great enough to win Morgi recognition.
If he fails, all humanity and Muni’s clan will be exterminated. Failure is so certain, Muni’s enemies are already positioning themselves to exterminate humanity and claim on sun.

It is the day after Aimee Patterson’s high school graduation. College beckons, as does her dream of becoming an engineer. On an early evening walk, her cocker spaniel charges into the woods on the other side of the pond. Aimee trails after him, and in the stillness of that forest the unthinkable happens. She becomes paralyzed and watches in horror as her hands vanish before her eyes.
Waking to the sound of voices, Aimee realizes that she has been kidnapped. Little does she know how far away from home she is, though. In an attempt to flee her captors, she launches from their confines only to freeze at the view outside the window. The sky is black and filled with stars, and in the distance is a familiar blue globe. The planet Earth.
A group of humans forced to flee their planet after an epidemic destroyed their civilization now travel the galaxies in search of an antidote. Retrieving samples of plant life from every solar system, on this occasion Aimee was accidentally seized instead.
Aimee must learn to avoid the advances of an awkward young scientist who seems intent on dissecting her, as her own fascination turns to the exotic young warrior, Zak. Having fallen in love with Zak, she is now torn with the decision to return to Earth or live beyond the stars.
