Description
When scientists discover a rare and mysterious mineral buried in the Earth's crust, they have no idea that it's the most valuable substance in the universe. It's not long before aliens show up to our corner of the galaxy, offering us a promise of protection, fabulous new technology, and entry into their intergalactic coalition -- all in exchange for this resource. Something so precious that other alien forces are willing to start a war over it. A war that soon makes its way to Earth. Leo knows this all too well. His mother was killed in the war, and his father, a Coalition scientist, decides it would be best for them to leave Earth behind. It's on this expedition that their ship is attacked, Leo's father i skidnapped, and Leo and his brother are stranded in the middle of space. The only chance they have is for Leo to stow away on a strange ship of mercenary pirates bound for who know where and beg the captain to help him. But the road is dangerous, and pirates, of course, only look out for themselves. Leo must decide who to trust as he tries to stay alive and save his family, even as he comes to understand there aren't many people -- human or alien -- that he can cound on in this brave new universe. --
