This is a space adventure with a little mystery and horror mixed in. The story flows from wandering through space to surviving on a hostile planet.

They were lost in the galaxy. The colony ship Castor left Kellia bound for the nearby planet of Perim. They never made it. Castor's crew and the colony leadership wake up to find themselves 47.3 light years from home and five hundred years older. How it happened and why are mysteries to be solved. Surviving was a challenged to be faced. Castor finds a world, a beautiful world that seems to be the answer to all of their hopes. A world that was a dream in the spring becomes a nightmare in the summer. Who is Scaret's Child? What can turn a beautiful world into a land of terror, and why did the humans try so desperately to send Castor the warning, “Beware the Cradle”? The Kellians had to wait 500 years for the answers, you don't.

The captain wiped his mouth then straightened up. "OK, that's it. Perry, prepare to rotate the ship."

Susan suddenly yelled to Tim, "Sit down and strap in!" Tim dropped in the co-pilot seat, and buckled up just as Susan fired the ships main engine wide open.
