Star Kids Mission

Ariel is challenged to become the Star People’s Ambassador to Earth. Raised on a Starship and shocked when at age 17 she first discovers her human mother, Ariel struggles with what it means to be a hybrid human. Human emotions, belonging to a family, falling in love, her first kiss, and learning English, are all part of navigating in a culture unimagined on the Mothership. Guided by Star people, Ariel is joined by four other young adults: for Josh, the mission includes designing and prototyping a practical hydrogen engine to change the nature of energy use on earth; Jessica’s brash, plucky spirit helps her survive a rocket attack; Robert’s unfailing sense of humor augments his keen mind and computer skills; Sarah, a sensitive, is adept at remote viewing and psychic perception. Telepathic from infancy, Ariel must confront her fears for her own safety and that of her friends before she can use her unique talents to survive kidnapping, attacks by corrupt officials of the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and finally by an aging former member of the Nazi Youth who now holds great power in the petroleum and financial industries in the US. Pilots will enjoy following Ariel, Josh, and Jessica as they learn to first fly airplanes, then the saucer. To take her final step into the Ambassador role, Ariel meets with the new president-elect of the United States at Camp David.
