He is offered the choice of living in isolation on Eros, at one of the Hegemony's training facilities, but instead the 12-year-old chooses to leave his home world and begin the long relativistic journey out to the colonies.

Sacrifices are made . . . Training is endured . . . Wrongs are righted . . . Heroes are born . . . The Free Fleet's plans are finally coming together. Now, there is a new force for good in the galaxy, and they're known as 'Rangers'.
