On an early summer evening, a new star appears out of nowhere. It’s only six light-years away; a puddle-jump. And it has its own planet. Dr. Kau JianYu, an engineer from China, discovers that a priceless material covers the planet surface. World governments race to obtain it. Some rely on science. A new, enigmatic system, nicknamed Loaded Dice technology, promises to give the ability to form wormholes between Earth and the planet. Others rely on kidnapping and slavery. A vessel designed to answer how the star evaded detection is secretly reconfigured to carry laborers and mining equipment. All rely on lies and misdirection.
