With the Genesis II now in transit through space only time stands between the colonists and their promised land, Gliese 832 c. Home, or it will be as soon as they arrive there. It is the realization of a dream, the first human colony. A whole new society. The brightest of futures.
Then Stewart is gripped by a voice from his past, pulling him into an out-of-body experience with a dire warning: Avoid Gliese 832 c at all costs! Stewart and his friends are suddenly tasked with convincing a disbelieving crew of the threat and then finding an alternative planet for them to colonize. And they don't have much time left.
