Three planets and one moon comprise the Eldora System in a galaxy not far from the Milky Way. When the consolidated government leaders on Earth realized in 2040 that global warming had posed too great a threat to the population here, they sent a group of terraformers to Eldora Prime, the only habitable planet in the Eldora System.
Our Earth government, known as the United Society for Peace and Strength, set up command stations and a base of operations on Eldora Moon to keep tabs on the terraformers and to launch missions of exploration further into this neighboring galaxy. They hoped to find additional planets for Earth’s troubled population. They were successful.
Or so they thought.
Khiry Okerson—When the reader first meets Khiry, she’s a plain ol’ seventeen-year-old gal who’s been away from her family for two years. It turns out she used to run a transport vessel for her dad, but a disagreement over politics of all things got the best of the family relationship and Khiry ran away from “home.” Now she serves as the helmswoman aboard the cargo ship the Instigator, but it’s an uneasy service because the captain has put together a crew of youth and middle-aged folks who don’t all get along so well.
Kor (John Ashley McCormick the Third)—This handsome twenty-year-old knows how to handle himself in a fight, and when keeping the peace. He has no desire for a title or leadership, but he sure makes a good second-in-command, especially when his leader needs some firepower.
Electra Endh—This sixteen-year-old sister to Presidente Endh of Earth is a stowaway trying to track supplies for her brother’s cause. Little does she know her loyalties can be swayed by something more right than family bonds.
Jay—What would a derelict cargo ship be without a bonafide space alien? Jay has the computer knowledge and “space” smarts necessary to keep people safe. They call him Mozart because his grace with electronics is like watching a musician create a work of art—and this team could sure use that kind of skill!

On the planet of Eldora Prime, the terraformers enjoyed a few years of unfettered work while they built their city and homes. They mined minerals and elements from the mountains near the city until one day, someone dug too deeply.
The creatures that live beneath the surface of Eldora Prime are large, ugly, poisonous beasts with light-sensitive eyes. They poured out from the cracks and holes the terraformers made in their world and feasted upon the newcomers. What humans were not lucky enough to die became “changed” by the toxins in the Inhabitants’ saliva.
Over time, the terraformers constructed defenses, but their numbers have dwindled. Their supplies are drained. All that they have is used in defense of the living. You’ll have to read Problems on Eldora Prime to get the whole story…

When officials from the United Society for Peace and Strength built a base on Eldora Moon, they didn’t realize they displaced giant reptiles. These reptiles are powerful, and a variety of “people” throughout the galaxies have “uses” for them. An enterprising mercenary could make a lot of money selling these reptiles to the highest bidder…if anyone believed they existed.
