Til We Come To Be

Five hundred years have passed since a man took one small step on the moon. Now humankind is ready for the next giant leap. The starship, ESC-1, the most ambitious, costly project ever undertaken, embarks on its historic journey. The destination is light-years and decades away but Captain Tara Nelson and crew are ready for any challenge. Yet, millennia ago, events were set into motion that will turn their new home, a pristine moon circling a ringed gas giant, into a cosmic bull's eye. As the colony thrives, a strange anamoly is discovered. From the star system's outer reaches, waves of asteroids are plunging toward their world. Initially, surrounded by 26th century technology, it is little more than a nuisance. Then, inexplicably, that technology fails and they are completely at the mercy of the deadly, onrushing storm.
