[Solar Wind 01] • The Solar Wind

The Earth is dying. The Great Impact of 2079 has rendered the Earth

uninhabitable. It is now hundreds of years later.

After the sudden death of her husband, all Ava Amherst wants is to begin a

peaceful new life away from Earth on the space station Orionis. Or so she

thought. After arrival she discovers life is much more difficult than she was

led to believe by the Intergalactic Transport Organization. People are

unfriendly, they keep to themselves, and food is much more expensive than she

anticipated.

Practically starving, Ava nearly faints walking home from work. She is

startled by a powerful electric shock radiating through her when handsome

starship captain Wesley Robinson, and his crewmember Naomi, surprisingly come

to her aid. The sensation is all but forgotten because of her yearning to make

new friends. Her happiness initially blinds her to some subtle clues that they

are more than simple humans.

Wesley’s starship brings freedom, travel, and many adventures to Ava. Narrowly

escaping a siege in space, they make an emergency landing on an abandoned

prototype station to repair their ship. Shortly after, Ava realizes there are

holes in her memory of the visit. She realizes something is wrong when she

examines an X-ray and learns that she has mysteriously healed from an injury

that she cannot recall. As her scientific mind struggles to cope with the

doubt that her friends are not what they seem, Ava decides the only way to

force Wesley to give her the truth is to confront him.

Little does Ava know that Wesley and his crew have their own enemies and an

agenda with which she has unknowingly become entangled. As events begin to

unravel, time is running out for them to find a way to keep her safe before it

is too late.
