Description
Jana just wants to return home, to the life she had, to the world she left, to her own time.
The difficulty lay in getting there, because it is 350 years in the future...
A wormhole sends the ISS Exeter four centuries into the past, to an unexplored star system and a virgin planet. The ship's navigator, Jana Anders, devises a risky move to return to the 24th century. Most of the ship'spassengers choose to stay behind and colonize the planet, which they name Mycenae. Jana returns home successfully and then things get complicated. Because in Jana's 24th century spacetime the colony she left on Mycenae still exists but it is now 350 years old. Worse from her perspective, powerful forces are scheming to plunder Mycenae's rare element resource without the knowledge or consent of its people. Jana is forced to act because those Mycenaeans are descendants of people she knew and loved.
Shawna Tang is a descendant of the Exeter passengers who colonized Mycenae. Her people have forgotten their history due to a devastating plague. But when Shawna looks up into the heavens at night she can't help thinking there is more. She dreams to be able to learn the secrets of the stars. Ironically, one of those secrets might lead to satisfying her aspiration.
Ethan Styrnak, a geophysicist, comes to Mycenae to catalog its resources, though he is ignorant of his company's true plans. He meets Shawna and confirms her belief in a human-populated galaxy. During their brief love affair Ethan discovers his company's illegal scheme to steal Mycenae's resources. He is forced to leave the planet, leaving Shawna with a promise to help that he has no idea how to fulfill.
When destiny entwines the lives of Jana, Shawna and Ethan, the battle for Mycenae is joined, bringing together corporate magnates, galactic government officials, and brilliant scientists into a complicated drama with abruptly changing allegiances and undreamed of new technology. Whether the heroes can take advantage of these twists and turns to win through to victory is far from certain.
