Fifty previous Torkiyan missions were obliterated in space, but new
technology gives Mission 51 a better chance to reach the legendary
planet Cerulea--also known as planet Earth.
Zeemat, a peaceful Torkiyan who'd rather hold a paintbrush than a
weapon, has been assigned to his planet's fifty-first mission against
his own will. After suffering a catastrophic journey, Zeemat's
spacecraft crashes in what becomes known as Area 51. Taken captive by a
rather brutal cohort of FBI agents, he finds a friend only in his gentle
and kind translator, Dr. Linda Deltare. As the FBI torture grows
increasingly merciless, Zeemat must find a way to escape his holding
cell or perish, never to see the outside world he traveled so far to
see.
In his quest for freedom and happiness, Zeemat must learn to survive in
a strange new land and fight against militant forces from both his
native and adopted planets.
