It is the year 2298.
Humanity stands at the threshold. A new era dawns as the barrier that has restricted man to his solar system has finally been breached.
The Mission: To explore neighboring solar systems, to locate a Terran-like planet within the inhabitable zone of one or more of those systems. Twelve vessels, designated Terras One - Twelve, are entrusted with this task.
The X-drive: a technological triumph that allows true interstellar travel, whose revolutionary engines can propel the Delta-class vessels in excess of four times the speed of light.
The Crew: Includes one Zach Travis who finds himself a last minute addition as the ship’s engineer. And one Arthur P. Harrington, or Mr. Ambassador, who serves as the Federation’s representative on the ship known as Terra 12 whose targeted system is Tau Ceti, located nearly twelve light-years from Earth.
Meanwhile, Earth faces a threat born from its relentless pursuit of technology, a threat which drags the planet to the brink of destruction.
And then there is Terra … A world no one ever expected to find. For Terra is not only Terran-like; it is somehow more Earth than Earth, populated by people who are human in the truest sense of the word.
When Zach Travis awakens on the planet’s surface with no memories of who he is or even where he is, thus begins his journey to discover the mystery that is Terra. And a truth more profound than anything he could ever have imagined.
But who could have guessed that a visit to paradise would involve blackberries and butterflies and … bubbles. Even the deepest mystery can delight in itself. And love has a way of popping up where you least expect it.
In a place called Terra …
