T'rin-Intel is a dimly-lit orange giant star sitting at the outskirts of the Milky Way galaxy. It has twenty planets, two asteroid fields, and a Kuiper Belt along its perimeter. It's also been home to the human race for as long as our species has existed.At least, that's what's written in the history books.When Niles T.

Why did they eliminate almost all evidence of their true origins from history after they arrived? Why has nobody else from Earth come to check on their distant cousins?Nilby and his friends, who include a psychic, a drunk, an elderly martial arts expert, and a teenage prodigy, must solve the mystery of Earth before they are discovered by the Agency, an ancient and ruthless assassination guild whose sole purpose is to kill anyone that learns the secret of Earth.In this volume:Newedyne - The seventh planet in the T'rin-Intel star system and home to Niles T.
