Jake Rogers’ Mission Synopsis
The portal to Earth lies in ruins.
Stranded on this strange planet, Jake Rogers faces a reality more frightening than any alien threat: He will never see his family and friends again. As this hope dies, a new calling takes hold: to uncover the mystery of what destroyed the ancient civilization that once forged portals connecting the stars. Their secrets seem to whisper to him from the shadows of overgrown cities.
But why would God send him to unravel a mystery that seems incapable of helping anyone?
With the Rakken Empire closing in, Kirk’s threat still looming, and a brutal winter fast approaching, how can Jake complete this mission when survival alone is nearly impossible?
Yet God gives Jake only one instruction: Just start walking.
