John Jefferson's fans will be thrilled with this captivating anthology of five short stories and a novella, set in the expansive universe of the Devistor series. Spanning over a millennium after the alien attack known as the Disaster-a cataclysm that nearly destroyed human civilization on the planet Neptu, which is connected to Earth via a hyperspatial portal-this collection fills the narrative gaps between the first four novels with gripping tales of survival, resilience, and discovery.
- A teenage girl thrust into leadership when her parents vanish under mysterious circumstances stumbles into a way to revolutionize the economy of her small atoll.

- An enigmatic cat appears on the island of Kragnor, playing a key role in the lives of those who are shipwrecked there as they work to create a new civilization
- A family fleeing oppression discovers a secret that unifies the fractured island of Baneirus.
- A man who awakens three thousand years after his birth grapples with his past as a sentient computer and the memories from that time that refuse to surface.
