Promises are lies. Allies are enemies. Utopia means subjugation. He doesn't care. Until he's given a reason to give a damn again. Family is everything, but Retired Earth Force Colonel Nick Tanner's family was taken from him, one by one. Everyone he ever loved. Gone. All he has is his cabin and his dog, and that's where he intends to die. Until she shows up... Doctor Caitlin Montgomery is of the first generation born in the shadow of Earth's benefactors and was taught to take them at their word. She left a man she loved because they said so. Now she's seen the truth. It's horrible and heartbreaking. No matter how hard it is for her, Nick deserves to know the truth. His son Michael, the child who supposedly died at birth over two decades before, is alive. Nick didn't care if the world burned. When Caitlin tells him of the life his son has survived, he is now a man on fire. In the turmoil of the early 21st century, First Contact expanded our understanding. Now, decades later, some believe the promises and some seek the truth. "The first book in the Future Possible Saga is a promise to the reader. Even though there will be aliens, battles, spaceships, death, and destruction, at the core will always be heart. So many sci-fi forget that connection is one of the most important parts of a story, Gail R Delaney NEVER forgets!"
