Jesse is a gifted young man, born on another planet he knows that someday he may have to return to. When that day arrives, he is both saddened and filled with excitement, for his mentor/father has shared everything with him. Will the stories of the past be enough to give him a future filled with adventure and love? Or is he still the weak babe who will fail to rule in his father’s footsteps?

J’Lon has raised the babe E’Falco, also known as Jesse, to adulthood, openly sharing the boy’s true heritage throughout childhood. Cry’Star, his half-feline brother, has searched long and hard to bring him home. Now that he has him, he will risk life and limb to protect him, while teaching him the ways of their universe.

Jesse, the exiled prince of a distance galaxy, along with his mentor J’Lon, makes the treacherous journey from Earth to his birth planet of Quadstar. With the help of his mentor and his brother Cry’Star, he will grow from an intelligent caring man into a warrior his family will be proud of. Or does fate have something else in store for him?

In good faith to those who read my reviews, I cannot recommend this book. The cast of characters is too large to account for, making it difficult for the reader to form any kind of connection with a single character, let alone the hero of the story. The story is riddled with repetitive phrases and sentences that it was necessary to put aside because it becomes one of frustration and disappointment to read.
