Adventure and spaceships and aliens, oh my!

Seeking an escape from her life back in Kansas, Dottie signs up on a whim to become a Federation space captain! – of a tiny, solo-crew cargo hauler. Alone in space and wishing for adventure, Dottie goes off course to an uncharted star system to answer a distress call. Sure, the call is in an alien language she's never heard, and yes, she's probably going to get fired on her first Federation mission, but... to adventure! After being forced down to the planet by an alien probe in orbit, Dottie meets Croen, a handsome gray-skinned man with vivid purple eyes and an energy rifle pointed right at her. Learning they are in a shared predicament, they set off together in search of the probe's origins, what happened to the aliens whose ancient ruins litter the jungle, and how to get back home. Along the way, they'll face challenges, meet unexpected friends and learn home is where your heart is.
