The battle for liberation continues.... A de facto state of war persists between the United States of America and man’s only space-based civilization: a community of African Americans inhabiting their own space station. Christopher Wright leads the separatists of the Black Space Colony in its endeavor to perfect sub-light travel through the mastery of technology while navigating the sociological challenges of becoming completely independent from Earth. With the arrival of new recruits from Earth comes the challenge of integration while charting their path.

After denying the people of Earth access to space until they’ve completely divested themselves of all the world’s nuclear weapons, an undeclared state of war still exists between the space colony and the people of their beautiful, blue home-world. And despite their best efforts, the former space-capable nations of Earth have been denied any manned or unmanned access off-planet. For Astrophysicist Christopher Wright, the journey he began many years ago had all but seemed to grind to a halt, until a revolution of the mind sparked an interest in faster than light travel.
