When his best friend died in a reactor explosion, Jack Rearden thought he was just executing a will. He was wrong.
Jack, a 62-year-old Navy veteran and widower, made a promise to his dying friend Theron with his last breath: take care of my family. What he didn't understand was that ""taking care"" meant something very different in alien culture—he had to literally become the husband and father.
Overnight, Jack inherited a widow who barely knew him, a furious 17-year-old daughter who blamed him for her father's death, and a 9-year-old son who'd stopped speaking entirely. But walking away would mean they'd lose everything—their home, their safety, each other.
For 90 days, Jack fought traditionalists who said a human couldn't honor an alien family. He learned their customs. He earned the children's trust. He fell in love with a woman still grieving her husband. And when they demanded ultimate proof of his commitment, he walked into the radioactive reactor that killed his friend—knowing it would cost him 20 years of his life.
This is a story about keeping promises to the dying. About finding purpose after loss. About proving that family isn't built from biology—it's built from choice.
For men who understand duty. For fathers who know sacrifice. For anyone who's ever had to stand in the gap someone left behind.
