A collision in space leaves Captain Darien Stolt and his crew searching for a suitable planet on which to land their fatally wounded ship. The passengers, a group of Utopian colonists set on making a new home for themselves on a distant world, lose their founder and leader, Jacob Slowdon, in the crash. A new leader, Susan Stark, steps forward and lays claim to the new world on behalf of the colonists. She tells the captain that his crew, and the handful of aliens rescued from the other ship, must adopt their way of life. But that life wasn't supposed to include murder. Security Chief Todd Sureenon must do his best to apprehend the murderers. It's a perilous start for a new civilization. And So It Begins... This book is part of the SEAMS16 series, but it is not a SEAMS16 novel. There is no Space Equipment Authority Maintenance Station 16, no one named Charlie, and no ZeeGee matches being played in a field of poles. This story is a leap back in time to the events that started the society that the SEAMS16 residents come from.

Prime is not the only life-supporting planet in the Solenty system. The third planet, Klindor, has a civilization dating back to before the Days of Slowdon, and in those ancient times, a Klindoran astronomer witnessed an event that gave rise to a new religion. The Light Of Jango grew in membership and influence, but when a subsequent event threatened their power, they plunged their society into centuries of war.After the Days of Slowdon, Prime's newly formed society grew and prospered-for a time. But when the population started receding without explanation, panic set in. No longer trusted by the people, the governing council was ignored and society fell to chaos. It was a time of darkness and violence, but record keeping gave way to survival, so little is known of those days of sorrow. Eventually, alliances formed and a tolerable coexistence was achieved, but it was a stagnant society, full of fear and suspicion. But one faction worked to restore governance as outlined in the Slowdon Scrolls. Progress was slow, but steady until the unthinkable happened-the Klindorans arrived.Is their arrival fulfillment of prophesy? A visit from a friendly neighbor? A prelude to invasion?
