By doing this, the author, D. M. Rosewood, hoped to light a spark in the minds of the readers of this exciting space-based science fiction series--those who love an epic journey and possess a thirst for discovery, intrigue and adventure.

But it isn't just the future of the human race that's at stake, as Anna learns of an extraordinary secret and the evolution and endangered survival of thousands of planets monitored by the Visitors.
