About this listen
A New Beginning is set in an era when man has just begun colonizing space stations and a few planets. Earth is controlled by mega-corporations that rule the planet's political bodies and economies, much as ancient kings ruled their realms. The story centers on how a young indentured worker, Kristin Hayes, gains her freedom and happiness, and how her actions intertwine with the policies of Earth and the Federation. The story shows how everyday spacers rise to the challenges that face them, and how a young woman from Earth finds happiness in space.
