    Zara, a life form scientist on Earth, is collaborating on a research project with Sandy Larkin in a distant part of the Milky Way. Sandy has discovered a new intelligent life form, but his transmissions suddenly stop without warning. Weeks later, Zara is contacted by the cybernetic proxy of a wealthy trading family. It claims to have the coordinates of Brad’s drone Celius, but will not part with any information until she arranges a physical meeting with Brad Lansky on Earth. 
    Distraught, Zara calls on Brad for help, knowing that Celius is on loan to the Larkin expedition. Brad and Sandy have fallen out since their good old days in flight school and Alex is no fan either,  but this no longer matters when Celius is accused of a serious crime against the trading family. 
    Brad must accept legal liability for the actions of his drone. Their only defense is to mount a rescue mission to a distant, treacherous system and prove what really happened. 
    But how should they best prepare for it? Zara’s brief is cold comfort. Are they dealing with a hostile new life form? And how should they prepare for an encounter with a powerful alien entity they know almost nothing about?

They desperately need a clue as to Sandy’s whereabouts.Track 8—The Pointer – It’s all hands on deck as they scrutinize the wreckage and try to recover the scant information left by Celius in his final moments before crashing onto Planet X.Track 9—In the Teeth—They only have a few minutes’ warning before they are discovered by the alien lurking on the moon of Planet X.Track 10 – Moon Fall—Their situation is dire.
