Guardians (Caretaker Chronicles Book 2)
<b>2 time Whitney Award Finalist Josi Russell returns with Guardians, the sequel to her #1 Bestselling science fiction space opera, Caretaker.</b> <br /> <br />Trapped on a hostile planet. <br /> <br />Life on Minea isn’t all that the shiny brochures back on Earth promised the passengers of Ship 12-22. In order to survive, most of the population must slave away in the dark, unforgiving caverns of the Yyinum mines. <br /> <br />Ethan’s position as governor proves to be less effective than he hoped as he clashes with the power-hungry companies that control the planet. While on a surveying ship, Ethan and the crew crash-land into the cavernous depths beneath the Karst Mountains, where a maze of tunnels and slew of fatal dangers block their journey home. <br /> <br />Above ground, a deadly epidemic sweeps the planet, and Ethan’s wife, Aria, is torn between searching the mountains for him and finding a cure. When a mysterious craft appears in the sky, Kaia and her father, Admiral Phillip Reagan, must prepare for a battle with a species they know nothing about. <br /> <br />As their world descends into chaos, can these self-appointed guardians bring hope of survival to Minea?
