Rain wasn’t born on Earth, but she doesn’t know that. Her father and uncle have hidden Rain in secret since birth in an eroding sea-town, exiled and fleeing from the Grey Empire that hunts across the cosmos for her. Earth is a prison, but its inhabitants don’t know that. Society here is carefully controlled, and the last place the Greys would look for the child who may be Humanity’s final hope. It’s not until Rain's powers burst loose while saving her best friend Ramon from the local bullies that the Greys find her and Rain must flee the planet, finally learning her destiny.
Lor is on the run. She’s unsure of what she’s running from, but anything chasing her through the derelict factory planet, called Grima, into which her escape pod crashed can’t be good. She knows exactly what they do here: the Greys mass produce human clone hybrids, ghastly creatures of all shapes and sizes manufactured from twisted DNA, created as novelty pets for wealthy Grey families. Escaped mistakes lurk in the dark, broken down sectors of the planet. Lor is only a young girl, but she’s spent most of her life running, and her unique Source powers make her far from defenseless. Lor has to escape the planet, and whatever is hunting her. Good thing she has some help from the ‘mistakes’.
Tonjin, a young Elite warrior in training, is about to witness the fall of an ancient Human civilization on their homeplanet, Rien, as the tenacious Ziek virus is unleashed in a surprise attack by the Greys. Couldn’t they have waited to attack until after the day he was planning on telling Kota how he felt about her? Humanity is lucky Tonjin trained well; everyone fleeing Rien on the mighty Ark colony ships are going to depend on his quick thinking.
Ramon seems to attract the attention of every maladjusted young person in school looking to distract themselves from their own misfortunes. Sure, he's an easy target in a wheelchair, but that’s not why people single him out so often. It's his smile. His ever present, infuriatingly unhelpful smile. It never leaves his face! Ramon is an orphan, but seems to be the happiest person in school. It drives those maladjusted kids crazy, the fact that he seems so okay with so little. They seek every opportunity to wipe that smile off his face, thankfully nobody has succeeded yet. Meet Ramon in Rain: Part 1!
