Written for all ages. A desperate alien people known as the Florek have found a world that allows them the ability to rest and recuperate. A young man and his mother, a physician, a scientist, and a government official will assist these diminutive aliens in their search for a medical cure. Deciding to assist with a hospital resort off the coast of Santa Barbara, these earth humans will assist the Florek in their ability to use our "conditioned" atmosphere to their benefit. The cooperation between the two races will give us, the humans of earth, a powerful ally to ward off an invasion by a warring offworld race. Research will lead to discoveries of our distant past while our personal touch will give an offworld people the ability to live a better life. A young man will make the most difficult decision of his career while his mentor, a distinguished scientist, will accompany him on this journey of a lifetime.
