EMILY RHODES IS WELCOMED BY THE GAAL-EL AS THE SAVIOR OF THE KEPLERIANS.

For one section of Keplerian society, Emily Rhodes is the chosen one who will liberate them from the yoke of the Khol, a powerful alien race which has them enslaved. In order to assume her new role she will have to go through a dangerous ritual of initiation. Once again the intrigues between the different Keplerian factions will endanger the success of Project Orpheus.

New members are to join the inhabitants of Magellan Base, on the surface of Kepler-442b. Emily will have to lead them so that they can confront the challenges which await them, while at the same time pressure is mounting around her.

Meanwhile the unpleasant Captain Garth and his group of rebels will continue to make things difficult for the crew of the Asimov Space Station. Young Lieutenant Robert Beaufort will need to find out where they are hidden and prevent them carrying out their threats.

WILL EMILY MANAGE TO UNITE THE KEPLERIANS UNDER A SINGLE COMMAND? WILL THEY FIND THE REBELS AND PUT AN END TO THE THREAT FROM CAPTAIN GARTH?
