Adventures of Obsession: The Beginning, Pirate to Patriot

Aarin Jackson sat on a bench on his family’s garden, looking into the night sky and asked himself, What am I going to do with my life? As teens facing adulthood, do we not all do this? Did George Washington, Abe Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Winston Churchill, Adam Clayton Powell and many others, in their youth envision becoming great men of history, or were they merely looking beyond their ‘today’?
Aarin dreamed of becoming a space pilot, not of becoming a major figure in interplanetary politics and commerce. Carson Higgins wanted to be an inventor, not a diplomat. They are both children of normal families just looking for something beyond themselves. Ventana Schustoch is different -- she is the daughter of the Chief Ambassador of the Galactic Government – she wants to find her own space, her own identity.
Three young people, two from Earth and one from Bandor, sharing an adventuresome spirit and desire to succeed, together go beyond their dreams to become a powerful team, bringing out the best in each of them. Their complementary skills, sense of duty and compassion for others, and positive attitudes move them along a path to adventure and success, and with a little help from Ventana’s father, to a position of power and influence within the Galactic Alliance.
Along their journey they constantly expand their collective horizons, and their number, finding the joy of helping others, the blessings of friends and family, and the satisfaction of sharing of life, love and everything. Their story is not a new one, but rather an update on a traditional theme that “the more things change, the more they stay the same”. Whether it is 500 years from now, or 500 years ago, the mechanics of life change, but the basic values remain.
