Publisher's summary
You are probably wondering how there can be a Ship Book Six when the Ship series definitely ended with Book Five. It is called a side story or, as Hollywood would say, a spin-off. So, let’s go back to Discovery, Book One. End of Chapter 59, there is a conversation about saving mankind.
“Chameleon, is there a problem?”
“I am not sure, Meg. The explanation you gave Beth and Jake about the end of mankind is hard for me to process. I understand the logistics, but I do not comprehend why our creators do not allow you to help the humans.”
“I understand your concern, Chameleon, but our creators have very specific rules regarding interference. Once we hamper development within a species, it is difficult to determine how, and when to stop.
“Our creators however, have what Jake likes to call a backup plan. In the DNA sample room, there is a device that can take a small sample of Earth and move it into the future. It has been released and is hidden somewhere in deep space. We are the only two that know of this device, so you must never speak of this to anyone.”
“I understand, Meg. It looks like there may still be hope for mankind.”
This conversation will be the core of the side story. It is not about Jake McDonald’s world. It is a whole new story with a new cast of characters that takes place in Paradise, Iowa. If you like the Ship Series, we think you will like this one stand-alone story as much or even more. Enjoy

Story
Earth (Ship book four) is two stories occurring in the same place but at different points in time. The first timeline starts seven years after a man-made plague appears to kill everyone on Earth. Six Technical Force survivors struggle to discover what happened to all the people and defend themselves against Ice Age animals and an unknown human enemy that also survived. They establish a new home in Oregon where generations of children spread their exploration throughout the mainland U.S. The second timeline concerns the events following Jake McDonald’s return to Earth more than a hundred ...
