Star Rippers: The One Left Behind (Digital)

Description

When six-year-old Zan Titian loses his father, the future suddenly becomes a very uncertain place.

Bound by a promise made to a dying friend, Tu’Rok—a Draconian warrior carrying the future of his people—finds himself protecting a boy someone wants dead. When multiple attempts are made on Zan’s life inside one of humanity’s most secure military installations, it becomes clear that powerful forces are moving behind the scenes.

As military investigators search for answers, Zan finds himself caught between two worlds. Admiral Halevi believes he deserves the chance to grow up as a normal child. Tu’Rok believes survival must come first.

Then an ancient Draconian Memory Prism awakens something within Zan’s mind, revealing impossible visions and raising questions about his future that no one can answer.

While the adults around him struggle to decide what is best, Zan is forced to confront a truth none of them can escape: sometimes the future demands a sacrifice.

Because somewhere among the stars rests the final hope of an entire civilization.

And the person willing to give up what he wants most to save it may be the one everyone believes needs protecting.
