Plight of the TK

Nine descendants of Earth people reach a planet after a long space voyage. The planet had been settled by a very similar species who maintain a pacifist culture. The unknown location of Earth as well as the demise of twenty-nine others aboard the spaceship, contribute to a sense of puzzlement. Repeated searches of the TK, approved by the alien governing council, lead to an unveiling of the actual circumstances. Old data along with the captain's log, reveal an Odyssey of events occurring within the Earth's solar system and beyond. A notorious criminal from a Mars-based enterprise emerges as a threat to all.
