The sky rained fire..." Thus began a decades long struggle for the people of ni'ewn. Deceived and enslaved by a cruel dictator, it seemed that all hope was lost; freedom and peace became ideals of a bygone era seemingly overnight. Until the stories began-stories of one who would come from across the stars to liberate them. Little did Jack Chase know that he had been chosen to lead this rebellion on an alien world for a people not so very different than his own. Haunted by otherworldy dreams since his childhood, dreams he believes to be connected somehow, Jack agrees to help the daring band of rebels when at last they find him. Far from home and facing not only enemy forces that are better trained and better armed but also a traitor within and doubts from other revolters, Jack soon realizes that things are much more complicated than he could have ever imagined. And if he fails, not only will his new friends be shattered, but he might also lose his own family.
