e terraforming experiment, Emma is reluctant to separate from her three closest friends, Niko, Abby, and Naomi. She has three days at home with Anay and her family before she reports aboard Galileo, three uncomfortable days when the attention of all will be directed at her alone. As difficult as it may seem, one day, she will look back on this visit with fond memories of a simple time. Following a perilous visit to Proxima Centauri, Emma jumps from one star system to another, from one difficulty to another.

It is the first of four in a thoughtful, military science fiction series.
