After a lot of death and destruction, some humans and aliens are together in a ship headed towards earth. It all makes for a nice ending, but how realistic is it? Would people just believe some kids and aliens over a giant corporation? I would imagine there would be a lot of spin in place. And would society just accept aliens coming down to earth? Just imagine the protests and the government action and red tape. It seems just a little too optimistic.
They are now on the planet to mine Nyxia. The learn that multiple parties are not being totally forthright with the truth. The natives live long lives, but are suffering from limited population due to the lack of women. There is also another faction with different motives. They also learn that the corporation that sent them has not been truthful with the plans they have. It reminds me somewhat of the middle books of the Ender series. There is a lot of learning about different alien species together disparate goals. There is also plenty of action that helps to unite people together.
