Beacon is a vivid, imaginative work that combines thrilling sci-fi adventure with poignant reflections on cooperation and the value of diversity. A perennial misfit finds herself stuck on an alien planet populated by a race of Kevin's. Her struggle to return to earth leads her on a journey of self discovery & adventure. But can she find a way home, and does she really know what home means to her and where to find it... Beacon immerses readers in an otherworldly tale centred around Kim, a solitary scientist determined to activate a beacon that will guide her back to Planet Earth. Stranded on a distant planet, Kim faces hostility from the native inhabitants-an alien species vastly different from her in every way. These towering, eight-foot-tall beings have no limbs, communicate through telepathy, and possess the ability to float. Despite their initial aggression, a turning point occurs when their leader, Benito, proposes an alliance with Kim, offering the opportunity to exchange technology and learn from each other. However, the road to cooperation is fraught with obstacles...
