The second book, "The Original Four" is about four girls of diverse racial and cultural background and their adjustment to a very alien environment, their adventures, and about the world ship Antares. The girls are Sabrina, fourteen; Ayhlean, sixteen; Sarah, thirteen; and Kamila, twelve years of age. Jim Thalon found himself the desired object of four budding teenagers. The girls, in order to gain some distance call him now by his acronym, Sargon, Jim being too informal, and so maybe gain some emotional distance.
