When Commander Cole Masterson returns to earth from a year in deep space believing that he is returning to a heroes welcome he finds deceit. All of his hopes are shattered in the blast of a terror attack that leaves him abandoned by all he had trusted, loved and fought for. A highly decorated and respected officer is framed for a crime and exiled into space. He is cut off, forever. A man with no country, no planet, no home. In space, a place called 'the vacuum' or 'the vac' by all who travel it, he must learn to trust and love again. The real criminals of the universe are out there. They were not counting on Cole. His decorations did not come from rolling over to injustice. He will utilize every bit of his training and adapt along the way. He will do all that is neccessary to win, even if it breaks rules. Sometimes especially if it breaks rules. The human race and peace rely on him.

Arranged as a series of meditations on selected passages from one of the Bible's most beloved books, this book is for Christians who, like Job, are experiencing deep suffering and a sense of separation from God.
