Book Summary
The year is 2035, and Jacey Nova, a human teenager, is offered the chance of a lifetime--an invitation to attend pilot training at Galaxon Headquarters on the Planet Martel. His natural ability helped him get there, but he has to learn to work with his Sarpedon co-pilot if he wants to be successful at this training school. The security of the Calabrian Galaxy depends upon the ability of these young pilots to work together to protect their intergalactic freedom.
