Joel Creed is a former fighter pilot with a stellar reputation. As an astronaut, with an equal standing, he is currently leading a contingent of space travelers to explore and settle a new colony on an unknown world. With his flying and command experience, he has developed what he has come to call an "edge."Now, with the death of his wife having happened some five years ago, he feels he has somehow begun to lose that feeling of confidence. Hiding that secret and yet another deep within, he has built a shield between himself and those around him. Katharine Blake, his co-pilot aboard the exploratory space ship Terra, is determined to break through that barrier, but 'Kate'-which she prefers to be called-has a troubling past of her own. Two more unlikely leaders of a space mission could hardly be found.Go with us as we follow Joel and Kate leading these space travelers as they hurtle though this deep void. Together, they are in search of new worlds. Individually, they are in search of the things which trouble them to their very core.
