    About this ebook

    Planet Earth was ahead of us and we went into orbit around it. We had left the planet Terra a year ago so we were pleased to arrive here.

     

    Our starship was about a mile long and held a million people that consisted of scientists, diplomats, engineers, soldiers, and other personnel that we needed. We also had supplies to last us for years.

     

    My name was Captain James Storm and I was in charge of the starship Acadia. I was an experienced starship captain and had fought battles with enemies of my planet. I was selected for this trip due to my experience.

     

    We were descended from Neanderthals and looked like the people on this planet.

     

    Earth had a lot of problems such as war, crime, population, starvation, and many other things. I had the job of fixing Earths problems. My wife Rita was a smart scientist and would help me.
