Survival

By Christopher Kaler

The plague of the ancients has come to claim a new generation…

Millennia ago, disaster struck the Drafnag system, the ancestral home of the Dropans. One by one, people succumbed to a strange illness that first robbed them of their pigmentation, and then of their very existence. Desperately searching for a cure, a courageous team of scouts set off across the galaxy. But the illness followed them, and no one ever heard from them again.

When the plague eventually hits their isolated planet, Leeboo, thousands of years later, teenagers Ahmee and Pawnee embark on a perilous journey to track down the mythical cure their ancestors are said to have found. But does it even exist? Or will they too vanish?

Learning of the suffering of the Dropans, the intrepid captain of Serendipity, Samantha, and her adventurous crew travel across the galaxy on a mission of mercy. But the more data they collect, the more the mystery deepens, and each new clue challenges everything they believe to be true.

In Survival, the seventh book of the Serendipity series, Samantha and her crew make new friends, re-evaluate what they thought they knew about Earth, and take on a puzzle so complex, they may never be able to solve it.
