It's far into the future and humans have established a new colony on a planet they call Carina Three. It's a serene and untouched planet, with all the possibilities of Earth. A planet in which human civilization hopes to expand and solve the overpopulation problems experienced in the Sol solar system. The same ambitions exist for an alien species with overpopulation problems who need to expand into new territories. The two civilizations collide. The humans inhabited the planet first but now they have to deal with onslaughts from another race who also want to lay claim to the third planet orbiting the Carina sun. Their solution--infect the humans with a virus and exterminate them. The ingenuity of the humans stops the death process but now they have to deal with the changes it brings to their DNA? Abandoned by the Earth's Alliance for fear of infection, they're now on their own. Can they survive? If so, what will that survival produce? How will they be changed?This is a story of the human ability to adapt through sheer grit, determination and innovation.
