The Coalition Trilogy begins simply, in current times, with two young people making their way through life before meeting a stranger not meant to be there and in need of help. The next part examines a possible future as Humans expand into our own star system and realize they are far from alone, not to mention in the middle of harm's way. The final chapter looks at what the various species may think or feel about each other from their own views.

These stories will inspire hope that Humans have a place and destiny if they work to achieve it. They always have.
