Earth is dying... The Gaea-02 mission can save the world's population, but desperately needs the resources of another planet to do so. Returning from their deep-space shakedown flight, Gaea-02's test crew is stranded in Earth orbit while a global conflict rages over the Gaea technology. When the dominating enemy forces declare them fugitives, the Gaea crew devises a daring plan to execute their original mission and sets off for untouched reaches of the galaxy. Doyle Gage, the only civilian crew member, is trapped onboard Gaea-02 while his young son waits back home. Battling to fulfill his promise to return, Doyle unwittingly rekindles Earth's war in a far-flung solar system. Gaea: Beyond the Son is the first book in the Gaea Universe series.
