Publisher's Synopsis
"Your son is a bridge between epochs and events. He is consequential to the survival of the Delvans."
Committed to protecting their extraordinary new friends and help repel an alien invasion, Dax, his family, dozens of scientists, and hundreds of troops under his father's command prepare for a daring journey to a tiny, faraway planet. After some very painful goodbyes to their loved ones on Earth, they all arrive in their temporary quarters, a series of sprawling caverns on the cold ocean floor of Delvus-3. Troops and drones for the 'Mission of Mercy' immediately begin tracking the Ogribods: fierce, nomadic warriors who have already set up a strategic base on the opposite side of the planet's core. Eager to explore this strange new world, Dax soon comes face to face with the 'aggressors, ' but his actions trigger a chain reaction of events that will forever impact the lives of everyone on Delvus-3 - and Earth - forever.
