Description
The starship Cochise is forced down on the planet it was about to survey for colonization, plunging the crew into an alien world. Thrown into a first contact crisis, Commander Keyton embarks on an epic journey to repair the broken starship.
The further he travels the deeper he is sucked into the violence, passion and intrigue that haunts this world. The longer his stay, the greater the demands placed on him to intercede.
Meanwhile, other powers are loose on this planet and a brutal war breaks out that threatens to trap the crew forever, even as they stumble across the true origins of mankind.
With his tech resources used or stripped away, Keyton must break every first contact rule and use alien weapons in a bid to survive.
