Description

Expelled?Jerusha Ericson's got a problem. She's a strong, self-confident, and capable ensign at the Intergalactic Academy. Or at least she was, until she got expelled. Now her lifelong dream of being an Academy graduate has abruptly came to an end, and life lies before her like a dark, looming tunnel. But Jerusha soon comes to see that there is a dim light at the end of that tunnel.Join Jerusha and her friends as they meet Captain Mark Edge and the mishmash crew of the Daystar. Experience their thrill of signing on to travel a secret and dangerous mission to the planet Makon. And meet the rough inhabitants of Makon, who are less than happy to see the Daystar land on their arid planet. Travel along on Daystar Voyage #1 and see how honesty and integrity can not only make tough situations more amicable but can be a strong witness for Jesus Christ.
