Ken Aedan and his crew know that the dangerous alien species, the Ovoids, will probably return to Earth to finish its destruction. Earth's resources are slim and its fleet has suffered serious losses. It will not be able to defend itself from another attack. But the Founders, the dwindling remnant of a once-great human empire, tell Ken that they have seeded colonies throughout the galaxy, and that the oldest are out on the fringes. Ken prepares to make the long journey to the galactic fringe in hopes of recruiting help, but the problems seem overwhelming. Can these human colonies be found, and if they can, are they able to send fighting ships back over that great distance? And if they are able, how can he persuade them to come to the aid of a planet that has little to offer in return? Time is dwindling, and the crew of the Crusader faces their biggest challenge. The Furthest Shore is a novel of adventure for all ages, with an epic struggle that involves the clash between civilizations and the deepest feelings of the heart.
