Rick Galloway never anticipated volunteering to fight Cubans in Angola would lead to an extraordinary adventure. Stranded on the planet Tran after being abandoned by his CIA superiors, he finds himself raising drugs for an alien cartel within a civilization run by enslaved humans. Over 13 years, Rick has navigated mutinies, civil wars, and battles against various factions, all while grappling with the devastating effects of unchecked climate change. Through love and loss, he has risen to nobility, yet remains acutely aware that his alien employers may obliterate humanity when their agenda is fulfilled. Despite his efforts to improve life for the inhabitants of Tran, Rick is weary and disillusioned. Just when he thinks he has managed to maintain a fragile balance, new Starmen arrive with perilous gifts and advanced weaponry, challenging everything he believed about his mission. As the situation escalates, Rick is thrust into a pivotal role, with everyone looking to him for solutions. The stakes have never been higher, and the weight of expectation threatens to overwhelm him.
