Beyond the Ranges

After Earth is destroyed, Jason Graham finds himself--along with tens of thousands of others--offered a second chance on a planet on the far side of the galaxy. For one man, it's a chance at the life he never led--and this time he'll get it right.

Jason Graham dies when the world ends.

Then he wakes up on a space station on the other side of the galaxy, and the adventure begins.

Jason and five hundred million other humans have been resurrected (and rejuvenated to young adulthood) by alien benefactors in orbit around an Earth-like world that is abundant in natural resources and totally untamed. For the newly-awakened humans, this is a chance to start society with a clean slate and a bright future. For Jason, who has knocked about aimlessly in several different careers in his Earth life, it's an opportunity to unleash his creativity and ambition and see what he can really do.

But who are the alien benefactors that have contrived this second act for some of Earth's denizens? And what do they really want?
