The crew of the Stardust III must investigate a strange planet detected by a remote ship dispatched by Mee Keralatazaku. They discover a planet populated by unusual aliens who are unaware of the extremely dangerous moon orbiting one of the other planets in their system. Something so dangerous that even Mee needs to tread carefully.
They wind up rescuing survivors from a derelict, only to discover that they were not crew or passengers but test subjects, and that the species that captured them had no intention of keeping them alive. They have spent over 1,000 years in suspension chambers. When they return them to their planet of origin, it bears little resemblance to the one from which they were abducted.
They find themselves juggling multiple situations, any one of which could blow up in their faces. They attempt to rescue the survivors of a doomed ship, only to discover the aliens aboard would rather fight to the death than be rescued.
They discover a planet where all the predictive models said intelligent life would be impossible, yet it did evolve, and time is running out for them. What they need to survive is a planet that most would consider a nightmare…

I really enjoy the story, but if it weren’t for kindle unlimited, i would have quit buying these books after the 2nd. Obviously, the author,editor,publisher and any one else connected to making them, have little to no pride in the. The editing is atrocious. Missing/added words, misspelling all throughout. Thankfully the story itself is somewhat unique and enjoyable. Also, Amazon should finally set some basic standards to sell a book on kindle unless all they care about is the money.
