Publisher's Synopsis
A prequel to the Kelly Blake series Consider mankind's extinction as a massive asteroid hurtles toward Earth. Humanity finally realizes that all our eggs are in one very precarious and fragile basket-Planet Earth. The petty disputes are set aside and Earth's people unite, sending one million humans to settle ten nearby habitable planets. Extensive planning and often revolutionary technological advances push men, women, and children into the stars-but even the best plans can go astray.
