About this ebook
Justin Nesbit, soldier turned prospector, crash lands on a planet in a star system that doesn't exist on any map. He's taken prisoner by the natives, and finds himself thrust into a strange new culture, a strange new language ... and strange new feelings. From the start, Sajah, the alien leading the natives, is intensely interested in him.
Sajah is a big and strange alien, unlike anyone Justin has ever encountered in his life. Fumbling through cultural and language barriers, they become friends. But one crucial moment of misunderstanding changes Justin's entire situation and leads him down a path to a choice he never imagined in his wildest dreams.

The blazing, blue, twin stars serenely danced together in the velvet blackness to the starboard side, along with the first three barren gems of planets. To port were the other three, a bright emerald beauty of a world and two bright gas giants beyond that. Nothing else, especially an object big enough to be an anomaly. Then again, Justin wasn’t an astrophysicist by any stretch of the imagination, so how would he know?
The instruments weren’t telling him anything he could decipher either. Only that his ship, the Nitti, was caught in some kind of gravity sink and was being pulled towards it, and the fourth planet incidentally. The rest of the information scrolling across his screen controlled by the outdated sensor array looked like a whole bunch of science techno-jargon he did not understand. So Justin did what he did best and fell back to standard operating procedure.
Well, at least emergency protocol wasn’t rocket science. Okay, computer. Let’s try a full stop first.
Executing full stop.
A lurching grind as the thrusters cut out was the first clue that something was seriously wrong, the second was his ship still moving, drifting port side and down. That was a bit disconcerting, but he clamped down on his urge to panic like some green recruit. Why didn’t we stop?
