Genre:
SciFi Romance
In
this final installation of Wayfarers, Decker and Adara face an attack
on their homeworlds as well as on their children. A clan member from
Phelan’s clan attacks Addy and Zoe while Adara and Decker deal with
riots and attacks on the home world. Phelan’s clan member is at
fault. Will this break down the clans?
Out
exploring their sectors of space, Adara settles into being Mathair
Naclan - mother of the clans. At the home planets, Hal, Dimitri, and
others cope with vandalism, sabotage, and racism. The Humans only
group rises with violence and hate to attack the Wayfarers from
within.
Sentenced
to hard labor, prisoners are placed at Tom and Angeline’s
manufacturing facility and Monroe’s mining operation. Though facing
punishment for breaking the terms of being with the Wayfarers,
Bernard Lundquist still runs operations on Hometown.
Bias
within the Wayfarers and against the Wayfarers frustrates Adara as
she and her admin council defend against the Humans only group. The
family is threatened by the people Adara rescued. Can they find a way
to peace or will the prejudice tear apart the connections Adara and
the Wayfarers are making?

“It’s
been seven hours and twenty one minutes,” Frey whispered as Jolen held her.
“They’ve missed nursing twice now.”
“Everyone
is working to find them,” Jolen said rubbed her arms, tried to comfort
her.
“I
can’t breathe,” Frey said rubbing her hand between her breasts.
“You
have to,” Jolen said. “You have to keep hoping. Harry needs you.”
“He
fought hard,” Frey said. “He used the self-defense training. We both did. It
didn’t help.”
“I
know,” Jolen said. “Do you remember how many came in the house?”
“Seven,”
Frey said frowning. “They shoved all the other kids in a room, locked them in.
They pointed phase rifles at my children.” Temper started to flush her
cheeks.
“Do
you know how many were outside,” Jolen asked.
“No,”
Frey said. “We heard the detail fighting. Tray came in by us but they shot him
without warning when they got into the house.”
“He’s
going to be all right,” Jolen said reassured her. “What happened next?”
“They
put the kids in our bedroom,” Frey said. “They ordered us away from the babies
but Harry refused. I refused to go.”
“Did
they speak,” Jolen said.
“One
man spoke,” Frey said. “He spoke and the others did what he ordered. Harry
fought. The man who spoke ordered two men to hold him while others beat him. I
thought he was dead. I fought, I tried to stop them hurting him but they
threatened my babies with their phase rifles.”
“Was
there anything distinctive about the man’s voice,” Jolen asked. “Did he have an
accent, say words a particular way, or stutter?”
“No.
He spoke softly like he didn't want his voice to be recognized,” Frey
said.
“Do
you remember any distinctive features about them,” Jolen asked.
“Two
of them were over six feet but not by much,” Frey said closing her eyes. “Three
were shorter than Harry, they might have been women. The last two were between
five ten and six foot. The three shorter ones were bulky but I think it was an
attempt to prevent us knowing they were women.”
“Why,”
Jolen asked.
“When
they put Harry down and me next to him, those three shorter ones took the
babies,” Frey said. “The man in charge, he seemed to think it beneath him to
carry babies.”
“Frey,
you’ve been wonderful,” Jolen said. “I’m going to step out. Regan and Rowena
are coming back in to sit with you. Before I go, I want you to know, you are
safe here. You are in a private room at the Healing Center. There are several
squads of fighters surrounding you. Outside of those people, we’ve got
neighborhood watch patrolling the nearby neighborhoods.”
“Where
are the rest of the children,” Frey asked.
“Libheanna
has seen to them,” Jolen said. “She set them up in a space across the hall.
They are secure.”
“How
many of the detail died,” Frey asked.
“The
count is up to four now,” Jolen said. She patted Frey’s shoulder as she shook
her head burying her face in her hands.
