Before the Beginning
Betelgeuse, a wandering gas giant star is heading towards the planet Kiron, the home of humanity, at thirty kilometers per second. The destruction of the planet is inevitable, but the prediction of the scientists that extinction will happen within twenty-five thousand years does not stimulate the desire of the people to make the developments that will be essential to save the race. The need to ensure the safety of their distant descendants has much less allure than a pleasant life today. A group of fanatics takes advantage of the prediction to gain a position of power, and they target the scientists, claiming that they are responsible for the danger. Although they are forced to continue their work under cover, the scientists achieve an ability to transport nearly half a million people to a large number of planets, hoping that at least one planetary colony will survive to continue the race.
The last transport takes a small group of colonists to Ga-In, where they set about rebuilding the civilization. Unfortunately, the developments on the planet make it possible for a new group of fanatics to rebuild the organization that came close to destroying the project, as they use their knowledge of the past to rise to power and wealth. Once again, the scientists are forced to go underground before they can achieve their objective of reuniting their race.
This book is a fascinating prequel to the bestselling Alive! series. It tells the story of how humanity escaped certain annihilation, and rebuilt the knowledge that would take them to the universe.
