It has been twenty years of Collections and still no answers. Year after year, 17 year old boys are taken and never seen again. No communication from the Specters or those Collected. On Jason's 17th birthday, he waits for fate's direction. Will he be collected? If so, will he die? Will he find out what is on the inside of the massive vessel that looms above, like a second moon that he's always known?
Jason has prepared for this his whole life and he's ready, or so he thinks. He is determined to see his family again and will do whatever it takes. Will fate stand in his way? He isn't sure, but he knows that sometimes, you have to go through it to get over it.
