In book 5 of this outer space adventure series, Olivia finally reveals the truth to others, and it's terrifying. Back on earth, computers are gaining power and they're already unstoppable. They're capturing people, their main competition when it comes to energy consumption, and killing them. In order to survive, a viable number of people must escape earth - and Kepler62 is their destination of choice. Unfortunately, the Whisperers are deemed too powerful to exist alongside humans, which means they need to be eliminated before any more people arrive. Joni, who is carrying a virus that shall wipe them out, is chosen to complete the task. But Joni goes into hiding. Meanwhile Ari and Marie also discover that the extra travel capsule on their space craft is now open and empty. Whoever travelled in it is now awake and on Kepler62 . . .
