Ron Calvin from Earth, Tik Michi from Vesta IV and Gus Ugde Ghuolh from Prokne had been kidnapped and improsoned for several years by the Bugs on their mother ship.  The trio found a way to put a small amount of fuel, food and air in the ancient Alcantaran spaceship Galactic Antiquarian.  They used the ancient ship to escape and now they needed more fuel, food and air.  They just needed to replenish these items without being recaptured.  Another huge need was the directions back to their home planets.  A trillion galaxies was a lot of area to search.  Could the Alcantaran ghosts help unlock secrets in the ancient spaceship and get them on their way?  How close were the Bugs?  Alien Abduction is the first book in the Alcantaran series.
