The warmth of the white-hot sun called Vega can't even be felt on your face. The highlight of each day is attending class with four friends chosen for you by circumstance alone, but even the pleasures of school are reduced to the impersonal lesson plans received from a programmed computer.This is the life of Peter Rising Sun Campbell and his four classmates, caught within a web of tunnels inside a sterile asteroid orbiting among millions. Why are they there? Because an alien race is trying to exterminate your species. How could life get any worse?For Peter, Stiles, Henrietta, Ali, and Jimmy, they are about to find out. The stage is set to begin the thousand-year voyage of the Antares Rangers.
