Frontier One: A Story From The Stars

by Robert T. Reif

For millennia, mankind lived among the Twelve Worlds. . .

Talina Day, a young astro-zoologist, journeys to the jungle planet of Andula – only to discover a wild man, Charlie, raised by enormous reptiles known as Dracomander. Drawn to his untamed, intuitive nature, Talina brings Charlie back to human society, where his outsider instincts trigger a breathtaking a rogue planet drifting from deep space into the Twelve Worlds – and a transmission that hints at intelligence.

Now, Talina finds herself at the forefront of mankind’s ultimate cosmic
Are we alone in the universe?

Talina and Charlie set out across the frontier – joined by a space ranger, a moonborn prince, a Varaknor warrior, and a mysterious professor – on a voyage to a world beyond experience, beyond imagination.

But Talina’s greatest discovery may not come from the stars. It may come from Charlie.
