Ryan thought last summer at Mindart was rough. This one might kill him. Haunted by the chaos of last year, especially by what happened to Carol, present-day high schooler, Ryan returns to the interplanetary camp. He’s not even sure he’ll get to see his alien girlfriend.
He is supposed to visit a peaceful planet for one day with his friends, but peace doesn’t always last long. After a disastrous arrival, Ryan finds himself stranded—completely alone—on a backwater planet where slavery still exists and there is no one to trust.
No rescue. No backup. No idea what he’s doing.
To survive, he’ll need to outwit dangerous locals, steal a ship, and figure out how to get home. Oh, and what should he do with his new pet and these crazy girls? There’s no way he’s bringing them back to Earth.
A high-stakes sci-fi adventure full of danger, friendship, and one seriously unwanted vacation.
