About this ebook
Unable to find a home and acceptance on Earth, an intrepid band of misplaced youth seeks their ancestral home among the stars. Unfortunately, their reception is not quite what they hoped. The home they discover is a hostile place, involved in a huge interstellar war with a hostile alien species. Everyone is on guard, and the newcomers are viewed as untrusted interlopers. They search for a place in a world with no use for them, with no place to turn for assistance.
Faced with an unwinnable situation, they seek to change the rules, risking arrest, trial and even death in hopes of fixing a world they know little about. To win friends they much prove the unprovable, face down an unstopable enemy, and convince those ready to kill them that they known Tandorians better than they know themselves.
Vincent Berg
Vincent Berg worked in both Chicago and Manhattan, working as a consultant designing computer systems for financial institutions, so this story was a return trip, allowing him to capitalize on his in-depth knowledge of the city and the complex financial issues involved in the story. More than this, the story allowed him to move away from his extensive science fiction background, and delve into some real-world relationship issues. He was familiar with many of the story’s locations, though he had no real connection with the city management, and no run-ins with the law to speak of. But often working on wall street, and walking back and forth between assignments and his apartment on 18th street, he spent a lot of time around City Hall, One Police Plaza and the other areas the story addresses.
