The ruling Anixians believe Kayla is the "Wingless and Featherless" savior prophesied by Grey Seer hundreds of years in the past. As a consequence, they have given her the problem of saving Anixia from the multiple warlike races inhabiting the Milky Way. Unfortunately, Kayla is quick to realize she is in charge of a strategy that has no chance of surviving contact with the three warlike nations currently known to exist: Tullizor, Soofir, and Jumanu... moreThe ruling Anixians believe Kayla is the "Wingless and Featherless" savior prophesied by Grey Seer hundreds of years in the past. As a consequence, they have given her the problem of saving Anixia from the multiple warlike races inhabiting the Milky Way. Unfortunately, Kayla is quick to realize she is in charge of a strategy that has no chance of surviving contact with the three warlike nations currently known to exist: Tullizor, Soofir, and Jumanu. The Anixians only have five cruisers and don't have sufficient population to crew a sixth nor adequate yearly recruits from Earth to replace crew losses that would be sustained in a major invasion. Their current numbers might be enough to keep the Tullizor at bay, but not if, or likely, when the Jumanu or the Soofir find the planet. To make matter worse, Kayla is young woman while most of the senior humans are male, older, and have years of experience. If that weren't enough, too many of the humans on Anixia believe stealing a cruiser and returning to Earth would make them rich, healthy, and famous. Life on Anixia is about to become very interesting. less
