Title: The Only Way
Description: When a disaster on a colonized planet threatens to wipe out its entire population, the central government digs up a discarded research proposal it thinks might solve the problem. The theory behind the proposal is to find the Home Planet, the origin of humanity, whose location was lost with the destruction of technology during the period known as the Regression. The author of the proposal, Dr. Dmitri Timerlane, does not believe his research is applicable. He begrudgingly takes the assignment, only because finding the Home Planet has been his obsession for much of his life. He assembles a team of top scientists to explore five planets, one of which might be the Home Planet. On the second planet, Dr. Timerlane meets Elijah Havlorton. He is quickly added to the team because of his knowledge of ancient languages, but his belief in Christ causes a stir among the research team members. As the scientists encounter new cultures and unusual events, they question their beliefs and look to God for answers. On the other planets, the team must deal with terrorist bombs, overt racism, and even protesters who do not want their world to be overrun by tourists if it is proven to be the Home Planet. The research team members marvel as they witness Elijah's faith and dependence on God throughout all these events. The writing style in this book is similar to the book of Acts, in that it switches back and forth between third person and first person, when Elijah joins the action as narrator. - Back cover.
