About this audiobook
A young human boy growing up on an alien world finds his innocent friendships tested as historical tensions between species suddenly ignite. When news arrives that humanity has suffered a devastating military defeat, the once-peaceful alien natives turn their anger toward the colonizers. This poignant and tense narrative explores the heartbreaking realities of prejudice, imperialism, and the loss of childhood innocence. It offers a powerful reflection on how the sins of empires inevitably crash down upon the everyday lives of the innocent. Witness a gripping coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of a crumbling interstellar occupation.
