Test of Servitude

A true leader must cultivate a heart of service rather than authority.
 
What will Earth be like? That's the question on every Torian human mind. Some, a minority, remember it with fondness. But the majority dread the long-delayed Earth relocation mission. Brandon Foss, their unwitting leader, hardly blames them for their fear of the unknown. Unfortunately, he has too many logistical problems just trying to get them there to deal with that—some of which only validate their fears.
 
It's been 39 Tora years since the first of 372 Earthlings were revived from cryonic preservation. More than half a century has passed on Earth since their individual abductions. The human population on Banor has grown to more than two thousand, including 348 first-generation survivors. The bulk of these people will be forced to leave the only home they've ever known to move to a place with unfamiliar hazards and a shorter life expectancy, where they do not know if they will even be welcome. Then again, they have not exactly felt welcome on Banor the last few years. When a new alien attack coincides with a sobering shave from a cosmic natural disaster, most of the Earthlings finally realize they belong on their home planet, come of it what may.
 
No big project is ever easy, and that's without the endless chain of sinister roadblocks which seem to plague Brandon's final mission. Ultimately, the entire human population will have to test the old prophecies about the true identity of their worst enemy if they are to reach a safe harbor where they can build a promising future.
 
This is Book 5 of the Torian Reclamation and the final installment of the series, which took more than eight years to complete. The author hopes the conclusion prompts a rusty old gear or two in your mind to start turning. Enjoy.
