The First Star
About this ebook
He doesn’t fit in and his family won’t miss him. He never dreamed he would end up living in a nightmare.
Who can he trust?
The pirates who take him in,
his protector who abandoned him,
or is he just bait in an elaborate trap?
The First Star continues the story of the Fraser family caught between worlds, hunted by aliens, and holding the key to the survival of Earth.
