Synopsis
Pell Station orbits a habitable world at the frontier of human expansion, caught between Earth's fleet and the breakaway colonies in a devastating interstellar war. As refugees flood in and political alliances shift, the station's people must fight to maintain their independence and protect the gentle alien Hisa who inhabit the planet below.
