Description:
When his transport vehicle is forced to abort its mission and crash lands on Earth, 13-year-old Welkin Roberts has a problem. Having been born and raised in space -- a member of a large contingent whose mission was to colonize Tau Ceti -- Skyborn Welkin has no idea what to expect.
Expand description
All he knows about Earth is what he has learned from The Colony's archives. And what he does know is not encouraging. For Skyborn kids, the Earthborn are savages and barbarians.
That prejudice is put to the test when Welkin and some fellow Skyborn are sent out from the wrecked Colony to explore and are attacked by a savage and murderous gang of feral Earthborn known as Jabbers.
Welkin is rescued by Sarah, an Earthborn hardly older than himself, and a leader of a group of survivors who are trying to unite other displaced families in a war against the Jabbers.
Welkin may have some skills that come in handy in that fight. The question is, will he live long enough to prove it?
