She survived the academy, but did it prepare her for an alien world?
Siti Kassis excelled at the Academy, earning honors and respect. She has one last cadet mission before she graduates, but it should be easy. She'll be the most junior member of an established Explorer Corps team landing on a partially explored planet. With decades of experience and the full support of the corps, this is an opportunity to surpass even her father's expectations.
But it all starts to fall apart before they hit the dirt. Their assignment is an ice planet with almost zero potential. And her nemesis is allocated to the same team. Siti's chances to shine begin to dwindle. Then the team encounters dangerous aliens, sabotage from within, and a deadly enemy at the gates.
Siti must rely on her friends--and some of her enemies--to survive the final challenge and save her team.
