O’Hara never wanted to be a hero. He was a combat pilot only because his skills made him the best and Earth needed men like him to fight the enemy amongst the stars. Living a life a service and duty, alone in a cockpit suited him well, but fate had other plans for him. Shot down over an alien planet he was saved by a beautiful and mysterious woman named Katreena. He soon learns that the world is populated by people who seemed to have been lost by time and controlled by stones that the people believe to be divine magic. Wanting only to return to his fleet, he discovers that he has more than a passing connection with the world’s people, a love that resurrects a heart long thought dead and a decisive battle to the war that followed him.

There was a definite buzz in the air as everyone speculated about the fleet of small ships and the aliens the captain had brought back with him.  The rumors were plentiful, and the facts were few.  It was only a moment later that Captain Roche entered followed by Colonel Kaminski and seven of her top officers.  She continued with the captain to the head of the table as her officers found empty spaces along the far wall.  As was protocol everyone stood when the captain entered the room and waited for him to sit or give permission for others to do so if he decided to speak on his feet.  With a formal nod to all everyone sat, including Kaminski who took what was normally the captain's chair.  Without hesitation, he began the meeting.
