Tess and Tracker have barely started their Search& Rescue business on Earth, when Tess receives an urgent message from her brother aboard the SunRunner. He informs her that their old adversary, Andante, has resurfaced as the new Aziz on planet Nisrock. Does she want to join the Nisrockian Freedom Alliance to take him down? She absolutely does. When the SunRunner returns for her, a none too happy Tracker opts to stay on earth. As Tess, Lyric, Stellan and the Android Harmony follow Andante's trail, they stumble upon yet another diabolical scheme on Alpha II. While the crew is seeking Andante, Earth is dealt a devastating blow when an asteroid chunk hits the United States. Once again, the SunRunner must return to Earth to retrieve Tracker, Hoh and any friends who wish to leave. A few questions still remain. With the whole crew reunited, can they free Nisrock from their old nemesis as well as bringing Alpha II to justice? And, along this trail of deception and devastation, will a new person on the SunRunner find their forever love?
