The Curious Conspiracy on Gamma Ceti

At the remote colony on planet Gamma Ceti, Dex’s classmates treat him like a worthless nobody, but he dreams of being something more, like the hero of his favorite adventure books.

When Dex’s lifelong bully leaves him stranded in their empty high school, Dex finds impossible yet thrilling company: the exotic new girl from Earth, and his secret crush, Tabitha.

As Dex earns her trust, Tabitha reveals her suspicion that the entire colony is being brainwashed. Dex agrees to help Tabitha expose this conspiracy, and while hunting for evidence, they also discover unexpected feelings for each other.

After a close-call with Dex’s enraged bully, he and Tabitha ultimately find a mysterious cave beneath their school. The secrets it contains thrust them into the sort of adventure Dex has only ever read about. Together he and Tabitha must survive bullies, fights, clones, chases, mind-control, and explosions to warn the Colonial Administration of a sinister conspiracy.
