Origins

By Christopher Kaler

Beware the fence, but one try you get…

Believing they’re returning to the planet Pandooma after saving the human race, Samantha and the crew of the Hermes instead find themselves in an unfamiliar region of space, a ship the size of a small moon looming on the horizon. Like any self-respecting explorers, they go to investigate. And what they find throws them into a paradox that even the advanced Pandoomans can’t explain.

When they finally get back to Pandooma, Samantha and her team once again visit the oracle residing in the planet’s inhospitable mountains, finding to their dismay that this very act puts them in danger. The Pandoomans are already dying. Will the same happen to the crew of the Hermes?

There’s only one way to help the Pandoomans, but it involves a treacherous journey to the center of the galaxy—a journey that no one is ever known to have survived.

The fifth book in the action-packed young adult sci-fi series Serendipity, Origins takes the Hermes and her crew into an adventure that will test them to their very limits. And something will be lost forever…
