A man who grew up on Earth, but finds out he is really from another galaxy. This story follows his return to his birth home and how he handles being thrust into a new society that’s so much different from the one he was raised in, while dealing with multiple threats of those who would rather he not returned. There’s an alien ship hovering over Lake Thurmond in Georgia, and come to find out, it’s here for me… Hello, my name is Michael Layton, or at least I thought it was. Before the ship came, I was just a regular Earthbound guy. Well, as regular as the son of a CEO of a billionaire tech company can get that is. I’m also a proud graduate of MIT and already one year into a bright future of engineering at New Horizons, but all that doesn’t matter after the ship shows up. There it is for the entire world to see and broadcasting live from every channel––that large hulking black thing hanging in the air. And in that moment of naked truth, all the world finally knows there really is life out there. If only that was the most astonishing thing I learned. Later that same day, my parents make a startling confession––the ship has come from a far off galaxy called Ethia, and it’s here for me.

Not to mention the looming threat of three brothers who resent that I was ever born, and are threatened by my return to Ethia. Now I’m headed to a planet called Sora X and the College there that produces the absolute best at personal protection. I hope I can find someone I can trust to watch my back, and maybe even keep me from blundering into the next hazardous situation. It seems that my lack of knowledge about Ethia is working against me and I’m not entirely sure I’m going to survive this place of my birth. Since returning to Ethia, I've realized there are quite a few people who would have preferred if I had never come back to my birthplace... My name is Adar Zahn, and I’m trying my best to get used to my life as an Ethian citizen. I've been here just over a month, and in that time, and all I’ve managed to do is establish an uneasy relationship with my birth father, anger several powerful people and a major organization, and almost die––twice.
