Follow the inspiring life of Martin Luther King Jr. in a moving, vital, and informative book by an author and an illustrator with close ties to Dr. King’s family. Martin Luther King Jr. devoted his life to helping people, first as a Baptist minister and scholar and later as the foremost leader in the African-American civil rights movement. An organizer of the Montgomery bus boycott and cofounder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Dr. King won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for combating racial inequality through nonviolent resistance. As a result of his actions, the United States Congress passed the historic Civil Rights Act of 1964. This book's powerful story and important message, originally published in 1964, remain as relevant today as they were more than fifty years ago. With a new foreword by the author’s widow, Xernona Clayton, the text has been reviewed and updated for a new generation and features striking new illustrations by Donald Bermudez.

The Novara, a colossal ark ship, was humanity's last hope, designed to transport two million souls from a chaotic solar system in search of a new Earth. However, its descendants now live a ship-bound life far from the envisioned paradise. A devastating collision occurred 129 years ago, revealing humanity's long-held question: we are not alone. The arrival of a parasitic warship, the Devourer, halted the Novara's journey and led to a century of fragile peace between the human remnant and the alien occupants. This peace is now threatened by communication barriers and rising human supremacy sentiments. As malevolent forces ignite division, the fate of millions rests on the shoulders of three unlikely individuals: the wealthy son of a councilman, a daring smuggling captain, and a seasoned marshal. They must navigate the brewing conflict and strive to make a difference before war erupts. Filled with unexpected twists, evolving friendships, and fractured alliances, this story launches a captivating, character-driven deep-space sci-fi series, appealing to fans of Firefly, Mass Effect, and The Expanse.
