Bell was excited if you could apply human characteristics to a computer. For ten thousand years he had been alone making sure the space ship was maintained and his cherished cargo safe. Bell's destination was the fourth planet in this solar system. There were three planets in the habitable zone. Dione the third planet was similar to Earth and Methodia but larger and a hundred million miles from its sun. The fourth planet, Haum, the one they were to colonize was a hundred thirty million miles from the sun and also larger than the Earth. Colonization of Haum becomes more complicated when it is discovered their sister planet Dione, is inhabited by cultures similar to Earth of the late 1940s. It became apparent the people of Dione would, at some point, discover their neighboring planet was inhabited, the space program was already at the forefront of exploring local space outside the planet. If the colonists from Earth had wanted to wait before introducing themselves, it was cut short when the first moon landing was a disaster. Drake Bear commanded an operation to save the Alterian astronauts. Bell set the hundred mile long ship on Dione's moon; several days later the men were treated then returned to a repaired lander, but now a few people on Dione were aware they had neighbors that possessed more advanced technology. As the interplanetary relationship develops intriguing discoveries seemingly linking the origin of the inhabitants of Dione, Earth, and Methodia, raise the question are we alone and from where did we come from. A message from a star system a thousand light-years distant adds to the puzzle and an adventure of a lifetime.
