| Publisher Description: Book One: Sojourn The Earth year 2401 finds the N.S. Phoenix still adrift two hundred years after a failed Earth mission to Saturn's moon, Dione. Disabled by radiation from a massive solar flare, the artificial intelligence, AI Jhenna, steadfastly adheres to hope that it, and the one surviving crewmember, the sleeping Captain Terry Dankin, will somehow survive. Meanwhile, from the planet Darlon, the D.S. Classtoria and crew arrive at Earth to find a grim reality, yet another planet destroyed by environmental collapse. But not all is lost as a shocking discovery is made on Earth's moon. Book Two: The Parakon Captain Terry Dankin is assigned his first research mission, but what was supposed to be a simple mission to explore biological and geological aspects of the planet Varasay, Phoenix runs headlong into an ancient enemy and planetary harvesters, the Parakon. Captain Dankin on Phoenix, with the aide of Captain Narell aboard the Heraway, fight off a Parakon scout ship, but then are suddenly faced with the massive and powerful mothership, the Kloose. Despite being greatly outgunned and outsized, Captain Dankin and his crew aboard Phoenix must insure the Kloose is destroyed before the Parakon find, and harvest, his new home, Darlon. Book Three: The Red Sector A routine mission for Captain Terry Dankin aboard the D.S. Clivett, turns out to be anything but. Sent to recover a derelict, rogue satellite, the Clivett barely escapes a kidnap attempt by the Ixet ship, Loquest. The Loquest's plan for the Captain? Trade him to the Parakon for star-drive power. But after being rescued by Phoenix and Acting Captain Jhenna, it is discovered that the recovered satellite, the Corr Torri, has its own secrets, including a way to take down the Parakon Empire once and for all. Now Captain Dankin must take Phoenix into the heart of Parakon space, the Red Sector, wherein lies the secret to their star-drives, the Kaepec anomaly. But what is supposed to be a quick, efficient mission quickly goes awry as Phoenix is suddenly faced with twelve of the Parakon's most deadly warships, the Warlons. Now Phoenix is faced with the most deadly threat it has ever faced, and not everyone will make it out alive. |
