  The Alliance has been broken! 
  Betrayed from within by a rogue Synthetic Intelligence, the alliance has been fractured and is on the run. The Sontags have retreated to defend their homeworld, the Kardonians have lost theirs, and a Legastian fleet advances on Earth, with little to stop it but a couple untested airwings. Meanwhile, two enemy cruisers continue to chase Lance Baker. Sent by the Legastian queen, they won’t stop until he’s been destroyed. 
  But hope—however small—remains. Baker has an idea for where he can get the help he needs, not only to get the cruisers off his tail, but to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. He’ll just have to go somewhere he’s been told to never return to, and get something that has previously been denied to him, in order to pull it off. 
  Time runs short, and the Legastians are massing in Kardonia for the final push. Can Jimenez give Baker the time he needs, or will Terra’s last forces be swept aside and the Earth lost? 
  The Uplink Squadron forces have been in bad spots before, though, and have figured out a way to turn the tables on their enemies. But this time, the light at the end of the tunnel just might be the oncoming train!

  The story is about a golden-haired youth who wanders into the city of Teloth, telling tales of the great city of Aira, where he was a prince. While Iranon enjoys singing and telling his tales of wonder, few people appreciate it. A city solon even orders Iranon to cease his singing & music, and become apprenticed to a cobbler - or leave the city by sunset. When a disenfranchised boy named Romnod suggests leaving Teloth to go to the famed city of Oonai (which he thinks may be Aira, now under a different name), Iranon takes him up on his offer. Iranon and Romnod spend years on their journey to Oonai. Along the way, Romnod grows up while Iranon remains exactly the same. Eventually they reach Oonai, which Iranon is disappointed (although not surprised) to discover isn't Aira. Iranon is loved by the people in Oonai, however, so he stays there even though he still desires to return to Aira. As the years pass, people appreciate him less and less, and he is eventually upstaged by dancers from the desert. By this point, Romnod has grown old and has become a drunkard. After Romnod's death, Iranon decides to leave Oonai and continue his search for Aira. Eventually Iranon comes across an old shepherd and asks him if he knows of Aira. The shepherd tells him that he has indeed heard of it, for in his youth there was a beggar's boy who had always talked about it. The boy, who presumed himself to be a prince, was laughed at by everyone and ran away. With the truth revealed, that Aira was merely a figment of his imagination, Iranon loses his eternal youth. Now aged significantly, Iranon wanders into the quicksands to his death.

At the heart of the story is the endearingly naïve Catherine Morland, a seventeen-year-old who hails from a modest country parsonage. During a few enchanting weeks spent in the bustling spa town of Bath, Catherine forms a captivating connection with the charming Henry Tilney, who graciously invites her to experience the grandeur of his family estate, Northanger Abbey. 
  Upon her arrival at the Abbey, an ancient mansion steeped in mystery and echoes of the past, Catherine's imagination runs wild. Captivated by her passion for Gothic thrillers, she begins to perceive an eerie atmosphere that fuels her burgeoning suspicions. Whispers of dark secrets swirl around her thoughts: What truly lies behind the untimely death of Henry’s mother? Is there a hidden malevolence lurking within the elegant, shadowy chambers of the Abbey? Can she place her trust in the enigmatic Henry, or could he himself be entangled in a sinister plot?  
  As her vivid imagination spirals, Catherine interprets mundane happenings as ominous omens, her heart racing with each twist of her thoughts. However, it is Henry’s gentle encouragement that ultimately guides her to discern the line between fiction and reality, reminding her that life, with all its unpredictability, can often be far stranger than art. 
  Filled with spirited charm and insightful commentary, *Northanger Abbey* offers a lighthearted yet astute exploration of love, marriage, and the perils of letting one's imagination run wild.
