How far would you go to accomplish your goal, and what price would you pay for failure?
A military-based organization on the planet Luac, the Tal-Kari, is actively recruiting eligible student scientists for their mission to Marisantov. A predominantly oceanic planet, Marisantov's resources are pristine, endless, and valuable to the first group who can establish a presence there.
Commander Leba Brader, a trauma surgeon, is tasked with training and selecting the new recruits. To prove herself capable as a teacher and mentor, she needs to challenge them with her immersive Sea Box exam.
Being groomed to lead a multispecialty tactical team, Provisional Commander Tiv Garnet has been reassigned to naval command. His job is to spearhead the design and engineering department for the equipment needed to undertake the mission.
An eclectic group of student scientists whose common goal is to explore Marisantov must learn to work together to be chosen for the mission.
A brilliant graduate student, Maximiliano Urodela wants to be the top candidate in the explorers program. Escaping from Marisantov as a youth, he made his way to Luac to find himself and his role in bringing change to his home world.
Will Max and his new friends survive the Sea Box and prove their worthiness? Will he risk it all to make the mission and return home?
