Book Cover & Preview Text
The discovery of planet Earth was announced by the leading scientist to the Presidium of their planet Orbsey, and it was received with caution; of what interest is such a backward planet to us they had asked?
Before the discovery was released to the general public, the scientists who had discovered the new planet were told to appear before a board of enquiry to explain what they were doing and why. The politicians conducting the enquiry were questioning the scientists by cyber space, and the scientists were in the studio of a media network, answering the questions live.
“What is the reason for this discovery; is it of any benefit to our planet?” The chairman asked.
“The want is for knowledge of the universe and to know better what is out there besides ourselves. The need is to look forward to our own planet’s security; in the future there will be many planets discovered, and some will be hostiles. We have the need to know so we can protect ourselves.”
“How is the knowing all about other planets going to protect us? Please explain what you mean in some detail, so we politicians can understand.”
“We have one very advanced planet here, but we are self-centered; one day another planet will come along and want to occupy us, and we won’t know how to resist. We need to get to know other planets … and in this if we are successful, we will be able to form a group working together with common goals.”

About the Book
Author Vincent Havelund’s new epic work of fiction explores how Earth’s development has been intertwined with that of a distant planet called Orbsey. It all begins in the year 1 and races to its conclusion in the twenty-fourth century. As the people of Earth looked to the heavens in search of others, the people of Orbsey were doing more than just looking; they were planning.
In this first book of the series, the adventure begins when two cultures, two peoples, two worlds meet at long last. Thanks to their mastery of fourth-dimensional travel, explorers from Orbsey reach Earth—and neither planet will ever be the same. Humanity is still a young and developing race in the year 1. To the visitors, humanity is a barbaric and wild race. What must humanity think of their new guests?
In rural China, a bright, ambitious young girl by the name of Sun Li I dreams of a life of fulfillment and even love. But when she begins to dream of a long life—of 285 years—on a distant planet, she could never had imagined that what appeared to be a dream was actually memories of a real life lived on Orbsey. Sun Li is not alone. She is one of countless humans who would be integrated into Orbsien society over the centuries; while many chose to stay, some did return to Earth.
This is their story and the first installment of The Star Series.
