The planet Addran IV was a hot world that orbited a binary star system. It was believed that the star system was called Addran and that it existed on the far side of the galaxy from Earth's neighborhood. The system had several other planets and moons, some of which could probably support human life. Due to circumstances beyond their control, a human colony crashed on the very large fourth world of the system. After the crash, they discovered they could no longer communicate with their home. They set about setting up what they could to survive on the hot, hostile world. Proving the resilience of the human spirit, they not only survived but flourished and grew. Now, almost a millennium later, they detected communication signals from Earth. Most of the messages were unclear, but what they could determine was that Earth was now the center of an Empire. They also discovered that the Empire remembered the lost colony.

Autorenporträt
Ben Winston (1965 - ?) was born in Iowa and grew up in Minnesota on the family dairy farm. Upon reaching adulthood, he joined the United States Army as a communications technician. Before getting out of the military, he decided to go to school for computer electronics. Shortly after getting out of the military, and after getting a new job with an over-seas company, he was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. A month after beginning the new job, he was laid off due to budget over-runs on the project he was hired for. Upon returning to the United States, he had difficulty maintaining employment because of the chronic illness. He began writing as a form of stress release, from being home bound and not being able to work, and found he liked writing erotica. Ben wrote a trilogy called the Talosian Chronicles (Currently in rewrite to remove the graphic sex and finalized his vision of the story). The first book, Star Dancer, won awards and was nominated for many others by the online communities where it was posted. Ben Winston returned to school for literature, after completion, he began writing professionally. Being an avid fan of science fiction he focused on this genre. He was, and still is, influenced and inspired by Gene Roddenberry, Anne McCaffery, David Weber, Isaac Asimov, and Ray Bradbury. Some of his favorite movies and TV shows are; Battlestar Galactica (both versions), Andromeda, Star Trek, Firefly, Star Wars, and many of the B-rated movies that were actually box-office bombs.
