After men had learned to bend space/time a desolate, hard, planet was found that revolved around an angry red dwarf star. Unlovely, too hot in day, and too cold at night, with little water, colonists wanted to have nothing to do with it. But bureaucrats had a solution. Patterned after Australia’s Botany Bay the harsh world became a dumping ground for Earth’s most dangerous incorrigibles.
Enter Malcolm “Doc” Moore, an agent of the United States Protective Services whose job it was to travel to the unyielding world to deliver prisoners to their fate.
On this trip Malcolm was ambushed and abandoned in the wastelands of the dessert world. But despite his circumstances he would find a new life, a new purpose, and a new love that would transform him and this world forever.
