Will the discovery of intelligent life mean a new beginning . . . or their end?

Calure, a paradise world filled with wonders and adorable creatures is the Iridium Rainbow’s new home and humanity’s hope for the future. Carlton and the colonists struggle with the immense responsibility of completing a sympathetic colonization program that avoids every mistake ever made by mankind. But their excitement is short lived when they discover the unthinkable.

They have been detected by an alien race.

Urgently embarking on a mission to investigate and assess the threat, they not only find an ancient benign race desperately in need of help, but also the means to fully unlock the secrets of the time dilation effect caused by the Iridium Rainbow’s incredible velocities.

With full time travel capabilities now an option, the crew must make a decision—are the dangers of manipulating time outweighed by the possibility of saving an entire species? Do they have the right to play God?

And, if so . . . can they save Earth from its fate?

Even with the incredible capabilities of the Iridium Rainbow, everything is stacked against them. Plagued by fear and guilt about what was left behind on Earth, and desperate to preserve their newfound peace on Calure, Carlton and the crew must face the greatest moral questions they have ever been confronted by.

Will they be strong enough to succeed?
