A Once and Future Planet

2073. Pre-Credit wars. The Earth is dying. War is coming. There will be no last minute miracles. Piper Dawn Douglas must make a choice: find a way to finance a space colony ship capable of carrying her children to a fresh start, or leave them to suffer. It comes with a price. She'll have to sacrifice those left behind, to do it. Not every innocent life can be saved, but it's a choice she gladly makes. Hundreds of years later, Level 4 Gemma must piece together technology to build a machine capable of protecting human life. But time is running out, and there's a problem with the machine. If she can't fix it, will it really be the end of the human race? Twins Dawn and Ryder Kyles embark on a life changing journey across space, searching for answers, for family, for life. When life on Earth was nearly wiped out by the quiet and heavy hand of mankind, hope changed its course. When mankind was again threatened with extinction, hope inspired. But is hope enough, to beat the universe and time itself? In our quest for survival, do the ends justify the means? Can faith, and hope, save us?
