Caryn is the first of nine novels in the Saga of the MacDowells. Caryn's adventure takes place several thousand years in Earth's future, when small exploration teams are being sent throughout the galaxy to discover Ancient Artifacts - bits and pieces of technology from a civilization that predates humanity. It's the Wild West all over again with the Admiralty's ships verses Pirate scavengers and to the winner could go the secrets of an Intergalactic Technology far in advance of anything in the Milky Way Galaxy.
