The Heritage of Terra: The Endeavor is a spellbinding page-turner, leaving you wanting more. This mixture of philosophy, social commentary, and technology stimulates your imagination.
Five years after the Martian War, a new threat lurks behind the Jumpgate hundreds of light years away from the Earth System. In an effort to sooth a capricious situtation, the Interplanetary Congressional Association (ICA) sends its top negotiator, Ambassador Cason Del’Ambora, the “Savior of the Earth System,” to arbitrate a peaceful agreement between the Cainons and the ICA colonists. He alone is the only thing standing between the ICA and Interstellar War.
However, an outside influence makes it impossible for his transport, the Starship, the ICA Endeavor, to complete his charge. Stranded in the merciless grips of endless hyperspace, the crew of the ICA Endeavor must enter real space. Captain Avery and Ambassador Del’Ambora work together to rally the crew and to find a new home planet, Terra.
Terra is an Earth-class planet, full of beauty and mystery. The unique tapestries of the jungles are decorated with colorful flowers and mosses with medicinal properties. However, the strange geological makeup of the planet’s crust gives off centralized magnetic fields that make it unwise to settle in these places.
Having successfully created a new home for themselves, now they must survive each other....
Excerpt
