O'Hara never wanted to be a hero. He was a combat pilot only because his skills made him the best and Earth needed men like him to fight the enemy among the stars.
Living a life of service and duty, alone in a cockpit suited him well, but fate had other plans for him. Shot down over an alien planet he was saved by a beautiful and mysterious woman named Katreena.
He soon learns that the world is populated by people who seemed to have been lost by time and controlled by stones that the people believe to be divine magic.
Wanting only to return to his fleet, he discovers that he has more than a passing connection with the world's people, a love that resurrects a heart long thought dead, and a decisive battle to the war that followed him.
