Narrated by Jesse Einstein
Micah is living the dream -- space exploration before he even gets into high school. The problem is that it's his parents' dream, not his. He just wants to go back home to Earth and reunite with his friends.
The Doris, the little mining/exploration ship crewed by just his parents, is days and jump gates of travel away from the nearest station when disaster strikes. A meteor storm forces Micah to abandon ship. He lands on the planet Sovereign in a lifeboat. One disaster after another strikes, separating Micah from his lifeboat, from the equipment that will help him survive, and from any hope of sending out a distress call and eventually being rescued. And where are his parents? Why haven't they repaired the Doris and come back for him?
Micah has one chance remaining, but the equipment he needs to send for help is more than two months of walking away, across unknown territory, with weird, ferocious native animals, and no certainty of edible food or clean water. His struggle for survival and the choices he makes and the things he learns about himself along the way make for an intense listening experience.
