From the Back Cover:

High school is never easy - especially when it's in deep space.

Fourteen-year-old Ayden Sway thought the hardest part of starting high school would be fitting in. He never imagined he'd be doing it aboard an alien space station, lightyears from Earth. Surrounded by strange technology, unfamiliar customs, and classmates from across the galaxy, Ayden is just trying to survive his first semester.

But when he begins to uncover disturbing clues about his father's mysterious death, Ayden and his unlikely crew of alien friends are thrust into a web of secrets that reaches far beyond the station's walls. What they discover could shake the foundation of interstellar peace-and put all their lives at risk.
Some truths are buried for a reason. And some kids are brave enough to dig them up.
