Publisher's Synopsis
Planet Zarcon offers demanding and stimulating challenges for Lander Kahn and Dray Demong who, as Colony Designers, must fulfill their mission to find sites and design plans for an additional four Primary Complexes. While traversing the planet surface, tragedy strikes when Dray is caught up in a life-threatening catastrophe where he is feared dead. Not even Search and Rescue can find his body, which throws Lander into a fit of rage. His best friend's presumed death, however, is not the only instance where Lander explodes in rage-like behaviors. Cally, too, delivers news that rips Lander's heart to shreds, throwing him headlong into an abyss of despair. At this point in time, Lander's Life Guide, Miurtiese, can no longer aid her present charge in escaping the raw deal life presents. She is under a directive to release her present charges -- Lander, Dray, Avria, and Cally - and focus on two new ones with whom all her efforts must lie, for it is their destiny to bring the Quest to its end. However, disappointment reigns, and Miurtiese must seek elsewhere for answers to this now questionable future for human kind and other species within the Visolis Solar System and beyond.
