When the star-wandering brothers Isaac and Aaron find the sleeping girl, they soon realize that they are her only hope for rescue. If they don&#8217;t take her, then slavers certainly will.<\/p>\n<p>With no way to revive her, they set a course for the New Pleiades in the hopes of finding someone who can help. But a storm is brewing over that region of space. After a series of brutal civil wars, the Gaian Empire has turned its sights outward. A frontier war is on the verge of breaking out, and the brothers are about to be caught in the middle of it.<\/p>\n<p>They both harbor a secret, though. Somewhere else in the Outworlds is another derelict station\u2014one that they used to call home. That secret will either bind them together or draw them apart in<\/p>\n<p><strong>SONS OF THE STARFARERS <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>BOOK I: BROTHERS IN EXILE<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Pretty cool, huh?
