Planet Bound

Hundreds of years after the death of earth the Nations have built a thriving community of the lucky refugees who escaped the desolate planet on multiple space stations orbiting the atmosphere. The Global Air Defense has now finally achieved the ability for interstellar space travel, completing a space ship to travel the stars and find a new planet for the remaining human population.

To make their plan work, the GAD must trust an ally they've only ever treated as a second-class citizen: those left to fight to survive on earth.

Louise Wyndham, contact for the black market smuggling ring of Puget City, becomes the first planet-bound trainee enlisted in the GAD, rising quickly to graduate as the first planet-bound officer. But nothing can prepare her for the struggles of coming face to face with the ship-born their generations of preconceived opinions and prejudices about the planet-bound.

When the ship Hickory finds a planet that meets all of the criteria, Louise finds herself in a new fight; more than just a fight against her surroundings, more than just a fight to prove that she's capable―no matter where she came from. . . this is a fight for survival. Will the rest of the crew set aside their feelings? Or will they lead themselves, and humanity, into destruction?
