Welcome to the Tora star system, home of the spectacular Cardinal-4 space station overlooking Amulen and Banor, twin worlds that share the same orbit. One visit and you'll understand why this station is the pinnacle of Torian achievement and a wonder of the Erobian Sphere.

It's been 25 years since the Earthlings were resuscitated and Brandon Foss's unique set of skills became the deciding factor in Tora's first interstellar war. A second-generation of Torian humans is now in young adulthood, including Derek's thrill-seeking son Jumper - whose insatiable thirst for adventure often entangles him and his friends in the darker shenanigans of their home world's fallen culture.

Unfortunately, he has too many logistical problems just trying to get them there to deal with that—some of which only validate their fears. It’s been 39 Tora years since the first of 372 Earthlings were revived from cryonic preservation. More...
