It is the year 2385. Seventeen-year-old Officer Cadet Cara Davis, serving on the 'New Dawn' space station and disliked by her Captain, longs to see real action. Bored with her mundane duties, she takes it upon herself to recover powerful energy sources stolen from the space station by an alien species. The fate of many planets and their life forms will depend on her success. - But unless Cara becomes more level-headed and stops making foolish decisions, the chances of success are slim. Her greatest problem is realising she may never achieve this enormous task alone. Then she meets a most unlikely character; will she accept their offer of help? Her decision, however, could have dire consequences for Cara's future.
