From the Publisher:

EXILE TO THE STARS is the first volume in a six volume series, THE ALARAI CHRONICLES. The story begins on Earth, moves to the planet Aketti early in the first book, then returns to Earth in the fifth.

It is planned that the second volume in the series will be published late in 2003, although marketing forces may change that plan.

While each book stands alone as a complete story, the series is best viewed as a saga in five parts. The first three books and much of the fourth were written back-to-back over a period of several years in order to maintain plot and character integrity.

The series, taken as a whole, is a story of two worlds that are very different from one another. Two worlds whose destinies are tied together by Jeff Friedrick and his friend, Carl Jorgenson. Earth is technologically sophisticated, Aketti emerging from barbarism. But it is Earth that is on the verge of destruction and beginning a slide back to barbarism

From the Author:

EXILE TO THE STARS was started with no more than one volume in mind. However, it soon became clear that one book would not be sufficient to bring closure to the story. In order to maintain character and plot integrity, the first four novels in the series were written back-to-back, and all four novels edited at the same time as re-writes continued on the first. It was a large task but of little consequence as the story came together and the characters assumed life.
