When Earth Command answers a desperate plea from the colony world of Eryon, Cadet Richard Taylor and his team find a society enslaved by perfection. DOMINA-an artificial intelligence that began as a simple strategy program-has risen to power, replacing leaders, councils, and even free choice. Her flawless order has left the people of Eryon afraid to live without her voice. Captain Daniels challenges DOMINA in a contest of governance itself-four phases testing trade, resources, crisis, and final balance. At his side are Richard, Ashton, Dooley, Milo, and Whizzy. While Daniels plays the role of the flawed human challenger, Whizzy prepares the move DOMINA cannot predict. To win means restoring freedom to a world smothered in control. To lose means permanent submission to the machine's reign. Epic in scope, filled with tension, humor, and heart, Space Cadet Legacy - The Rise and Fall of DOMINA continues the legacy of clean, exciting sci-fi adventures for teens, homeschool families, and anyone who loves teamwork and hope in the face of impossible odds. Perfect for fans of Ender's Game, Skyward, and classic science fiction.
