Publisher's summary
Thrive Spaceways proved its new warp gate by saving Sass’s butt on Sanctuary. Now Ben and Copeland seek to turn their invention into a business. The Sanks hire them to visit the European theme world of Cantons.
But first the reunited crews owe a whirlwind trip home for inventor Teke. After 15 years, how does Denali of the pterodactyls fare?
Next stop is Sanctuary. Will the AI Loki let his people go?
And then on to Cantons’ city-states of…pikemen and Renaissance wizards?
Rejoin the motley crews of Prosper & Thrive for another space opera romp across the sorry stars of the refugee diaspora on the wing and prayer plan!

Story
Fresh world, first colony! Denali colony is failing. But a pristine Earth-like planet beckons - beautiful Sylvan! Sass Collier and Thrive escort the colony expedition.

But is the problem lovely forested Sylvan? Or sabotage? Join the motley crew of Thrive for another space opera romp across the sorry stars of the refugee diaspora on the wing and prayer plan!

Story
Sass versus AI! Sanctuary, high-tech paradise with small-town charm! Leave a message at the beep. In a flash of old-fashioned warp, Sass’s crew catches up in time to Prosper. Eager to greet a new world, instead Sass’s comms are blocked by an AI from hell. Sanctuary is refuge to the Colony Corps, who transported refugees from Earth to the stars. Compared to Thrive’s home moon Mahina, it’s a paradise. People are healthy. Their dome stretches over sports fields. Electric horses and fun three-wheelers are available to venture out, complete with breath mask. Robots do the work. Something...

Can Ben tame the monster AI? Evacuating the planet Denali brings Ben Acosta to his knees. Thrive Spaceways is bankrupt. His marriage is on the rocks. And his homeworld Mahina is in chaos from the deluge of offworld refugees. Pushy arrogant refugees. He’s disgraced. Fair enough — he blames himself. But another 40,000 will die on Denali if he can’t turn this around. Ben hatches a plan. The AI Loki is like a genie who grants wishes. A hostile, insane, ugly genie, with a track record for enslaving humans and building starships with asteroid-slicing guns. If he can harness Loki, Spaceways ...

The Army finally stopped the dying, and resettled desirable refugees into the countryside. But no one wants the gang rats, least of all the adults in the city. The generations loathe each other.
