No human alive... no human for at least the last 500 years, has seen the fabled "Earth" in person. It was taken from us, stolen by "THE HIDDEN" - a deadly race from beyond the galaxy who "moved the stars themselves" to hide our home.
Or so... that's how the story goes...
SIX FRIENDS, against the UNIVERSE.
The I.S.V. MERCURY, an Independent Science Vessel, explores the cosmos, free of both the overbearing SCIENCE COUNCIL and the watchful eyes of the UNITED ARMADA war machine.
Whatever the scientists aboard have been working on, they don't want anyone knowing... not even their children:
Eldest BEN and his hot-tempered sister, ALYSSA; SMACK, the hustler; CODY and TRIN, the learned, proper set of twins; and little DANIELLA, orphaned by a SPACE PIRATE assault, then taken in as one of Mercury's own.
The MERCURY SIX are sent on a standard supply run, but return to find Mercury adrift, and their respective parents missing. The only clue as to what happened - a warning recorded by their trusty TEACHBOT:
"DON'T COME LOOKING FOR US."
The quest to piece their family back together will take them to the edge of known space and back, with the Armada, the Council and Space Pirates, all in hot pursuit. The one thing everyone wants, everyone needs, is the SECRET PROJECT the parents of the Mercury Six were working on:
THEIR PARENTS FOUND EARTH!
