Amber Houston was born light-years away from Earth aboard the enormous colony starship Dandelion.

By the age of 14, she has spent her entire life training as a Ranger, ready for the day when she will be among the first humans ever to set foot on an alien world and build a new civilization.

When Dandelion suffers an emergency toward the end of its journey, Amber and her fellow young rangers are evacuated and land on the planet Newhome years ahead of schedule. While the adults left behind on Dandelion slow the ship and turn it around to come back - in eight years - Amber and her friends must build lives for themselves amid revelations that will change humankind's destiny forever.

Meanwhile, aboard the ship, secrets that were buried over three hundred years ago finally come to light....

A good start to a series! Excellent performance. Although a bit slow at times, it none the less kept me engaged all the way through!

A good start, waiting for more

Not only plausible and thoroughly considered, through both the setting and vibrant personalities of its characters, Dandelion presents and plays with the ideas sitting at the limit of human potential.
Simply gotta love it.

Sci-Fi at it's best

Loved the story start to finish. Once the characters and motivations are introduced, there's a slow feed of mysteries running through the story, which keeps you wanting to get to the next revelation.
This is an excellent start to a series, and I hope I don't have to wait too long for a sequel.

Great Start
