It is the 23rd century, and Earth has sent a manned exploratory team out into deep space. Humankind's first expedition to the stars proves to be the ultimate voyage! After traversing 4.5 light years to the Alpha Centuari system, Captain Ben Canaan and his crew find that the arid planet is already inhabited by two groups of humanoids, one of which is highly sophisticated and enslaves the nomads who roam the deep desert. But what Ben Canaan discovers is a surprise beyond expectation, as he becomes deeply embroiled in the politics of attempting to end the age old practice of bondage. And his mixed Arab-Israeli crew learn much about themselves in the process, as they join the nomads in a long march across desert and mountains to reach the great city of Taab in an attempt to free the brethren of the desert nomads. Come along on this epic, adventure-filled journey across the stark, yet beautiful planet of Centauri and discover a secret so significant that it will change mankind's ultimate destiny.
