Description

Earth is dying, but a lush, beautiful world discovered at the edge of human space could be the key to its survival. The World Council has begun a massive project to build a ship that can make the journey, even though the planet has a flaw: it defies most of the known laws of science. Building the ship is hard, but finding a trustworthy crew and civilians willing to risk everything on a potentially dangerous world is even harder. The council decides to pursue a merchant captain who has proven himself in setting up colonies, but Alec does not get along with everyone on the council. His relationship with the council becomes even more strained when they use Alec's wife and young daughters to coerce him into accepting the assignment. Wonders--and dangers--may await the crew, but as humanity's existence on Earth becoming more perilous every day, Alec accepts the assignment. A surprising discovery awaits the crew, but is it one that will help or hurt their cause? Converging Paths of Cerzia: The Journey Begins sets the stage for an extraordinary adventure in space as the crew works together to determine if the mysterious world is the solution that will assure humanity's survival.

A resource exhausted and polluted earth has found a new home to relieve the pressure on its resources, particularly air which is unbreathable without breathing filters. These environmental crises bring investors and government together to build and populate a colony ship for a trip to populate and mine a newly discovered habitable planet in another solar system, one with an abundance of available resources that can be exploited and sent back to earth. Unknown to all involved parties, the effort is being watched by an alien species who have gone through similar trials but who don’t consider earthlings ready for what they are about to encounter. These watching aliens do not intend to intervene despite their reservations as to the earthlings’ readiness for what they’re about to encounter.

After a year of travel, the colonists find a heavy gravity world with unexplainable surprises that they are not ready to acknowledge. The book ended with an enormous revelation that needs further development.

The character developing interplay kept me reading; but toward the end, the book focused on only one character, an attractive self-trained and self-confident survivalist who made a major discovery that proved inconvenient for the colonist to accept.

Although reading this book was quite enjoyable on its own, a second book taking the story further would be welcomed.
