The Exiles of Haven

Falsely condemned. Lost beyond the frontier. Given one impossible chance to begin again. Conrad York has spent a lifetime serving the Commonwealth as one of its most respected diplomats. His wife, Marian, is a gifted scientist whose quiet brilliance has supported every step of their family's journey. Then, without warning, everything is taken from them. Framed for treason they never committed, separated from their young children, and sentenced to permanent exile on a brutal prison world, the Yorks expect only a slow death. Fate has other plans. When a catastrophic disaster destroys their prison transport, Conrad and Marian crash-land on an unknown planet beyond the edge of explored space. Alone on a world they name Haven, they must survive with nothing more than the contents of an escape pod, their intelligence, and their determination never to surrender. What begins as a desperate struggle for survival becomes something far greater. Hidden beneath Haven's forests lies a forgotten Commonwealth Patrol station guarded by two ancient artificial intelligences, an abandoned warship waiting to sail again, and records capable of exposing a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of government. As pirates arrive seeking the station's lost technology and powerful enemies continue to erase every trace of the truth, the Yorks discover that exile may become the very thing that saves them. Part classic survival adventure, part frontier science fiction, and part mystery, The Exiles of Haven combines the spirit of Robinson Crusoe, The Swiss Family Robinson, Treasure Island, and The Mysterious Island with sweeping space adventure. Perfect for readers who enjoy intelligent heroes, believable science, found families, hidden bases, lost technology, and stories where courage, perseverance, and character triumph over impossible odds. Because sometimes the road home begins at the end of the known universe.
