9Casen & GHOST is a beautiful, wholesome story of adventure, exploration, and coming of age. Casen and his companion GHOST are being sent to a faraway planet to explore and see if it can sustain life. The people of earth are using up the last of the natural resources and need to find a new home among the stars. On this journey, you will see how a boy and his robot can work together to overcome challenging situations and moments of fear and uncertainty. I hope that you cherish and enjoy it as much as I have.

Crash-landed on a strange new world, Casen wakes to find himself hanging from a branch in a large tree. He wonders what happened as his helmet visor clouds with the hot puffs of his panicked breath. The crash has left him hanging in a tree with his parachute deployed. "What happened?" he wonders as he struggles to unclip his harness. The glow of the afternoon sun beats down on him, and the strange purplish colored trees. His vehicle, a specialized interstellar ship, lays across the golden orange field in a heap, one of three wings missing from the hull. His companion, GHOST, is nowhere in sight. He unclips his harness and lands with a loud thud on the ground a few feet below the giant tree. "The gravity is a bit different here," says Casen as he tries brushing off the dirt and debris from his spacesuit. He pulls out his radio transmitter, the only way to communicate with his father, who is far away and calls out, "Father, are you there?". Static plays back at first and then a deafening silence. He is now far from home, lost, and alone.
