    About this ebook

    A special team of scientists are headed to Space Station America to do highly specialized research on solutions to environmental deterioration impacting the United States and Earth. Control of their space ship is taken over by an unidentified foreign power hurdling the space ship away from the universe. With the help of people from a planet far away from Earth they landed on their planet. On the way they were contacted by God (Gus) who becomes involved with their situation. The adventure goes through twists and turns until they finally become part of this special group of people and the special planet. The differences between this new planet and Earth are described along the way.
