Publisher's summary

After ten years on the planet Tormst, Jake McDonald’s family has come to an impasse. The oldest son Brad, wants to return to Earth and discover what happened after more than a hundred years. A heated argument between Jake and his son ensues, and Brad leaves on the spaceship Phoenix with two other passengers. After several weeks of regret, Jake and Beth decide to follow Brad on a smaller, slower ship.

When Jake and Beth arrive in orbit around Earth, there are no communications from radio or television. They land in Santa Barbara and find no people but instead a very diverse animal population, including many ice age animals. Continued investigation indicates that something terrible happened twenty years after the Phoenix left Earth.

Plans are made to find Brad and discover what happened to the people of Earth. Excursions into the western U.S. prove to be more dangerous than anticipated. During one of the trips, the McDonald family suffers a loss that forces the group to rethink their plans. Death and destruction are the norms for new Earth, and the surprise just out of view is the biggest twist and turn of the Ship Series.
