Humanity has gone to the stars, and the ESS Khonsu and its crew are leading the charge to explore the galaxy. As the son of the ship\u2019s captain, Jimmil might not always live up to his mom\u2019s expectations\u2026 but right now he and his friends might be the galaxy\u2019s only hope. After they\u2019re stranded on a strange alien planet, they\u2019ll have to do what their parents couldn\u2019t: explore the surface, discover the secrets of the terrifying race that lives there, and try to prevent a full-scale war! Working together, these Cadets will discover that sometimes being a hero means learning to see new perspectives, and sometimes bravery means admitting when you\u2019re wrong. — a 160-page, full-color softcover graphic novel with 3″ French flaps (6″ x 9″)
