Book description
On a distant planet called Nova Prime, the United Ranger Corps
defends the galaxy's remaining humans from an alien race known as the
Skrel and their genetically engineered predators, the Ursa. But one
young man discovers that, in the fight against annihilation, the
Rangers need more help than they realise.
Ghost Stories: Redemption is the fourth of six ebook short
stories that lead up to the events of After Earth, the epic
science fiction adventure film directed by M. Night Shyamalan and
starring Jaden Smith and Will Smith.
Anderson Kincaid was only seven when one of the monstrous killing
machines known as the Ursa tore off his arm. It would have killed him,
too, had a Ranger not sacrificed her own life to save his. Ever since,
Anderson has wanted to be a Ranger. After years of relentless training
with an artificial limb, his hopes are crushed the day Cyper Raige
himself comes knocking - to explain the Corps' strict rule against
accepting applicants with prosthetics. His dream denied, Anderson
joins the Civilian Defense Corps, only to find himself once again face
to face with an Ursa. No saviour in sight, he must rely on himself -
and a power he never knew he had - to survive.
Robert Greenberger is a science fiction writer and co-creator of the
Gateways Book series.
