With Earth facing a mortal challenge brought on by a genetically engineered vaccine, a small group of intrepid humans left Earth in 2155 to search for the cure. Captain Thomas Jackson and his crew of 15 humans and a Draconian traveled 25 light years to Beta Hydri only to have a rocket malfunction shipwreck them on its fourth planet. They found the DNA they sought but the paradoxical planet exhorted a price: starvation. Reaching out to the indigenous humanoids, each problem solved brought a new disaster to contend with. Inevitably, while the captain's love for one of the aliens is accepted, their unexpected baby is not. Xenophobia breaks out with a passion. Natural phenomenon is blamed on the innocent jinx, a half human the alien gods abhor. Jackson must protect his child and hold his command together against the geological, social, and biological forces which are beyond his control long enough to wait out a rescue. Will he get his daughter with the miracle DNA back to Earth in time to save humanity? In time to save her life?
