Synopsis

Four million years ago the crew of the starship *Challenger* abandoned the search for their new home Earth -the birthplace of their grandparents- and settled on the third planet of a solar system on the fringe of the galaxy, leaving Angel One and Angel Two, the *Challenger's* control computers, to continue the search in the starship. The four settlers called their new home Paradise. With seven-tenths of its surface covered in water, deep blue skies, and an abundance of lakes, rivers and lush forests, the planet is unlike the Earth that the four settlers used to study in the *Challenger's* vast hologram and video library. But after four years, they are learning to accept its differences... It is home...
