Daniel is an Unwanted. Unlike the clone captains, his missions are menial. Until he's in the right place at the right time. No one else is close enough. All Daniel has ever wanted is to fit in. However, being an Unwanted makes him at the bottom of the food chain. Clones despise the Unwanted, because the clones are the best of the best, genetically—that's why they were chosen to be replicated—cloned. Unwanted weren't even wanted by their parents. However, Daniel wants to change all that. He's sick of the discrimination of the Space Academy and the Space Explorers. He wants to lead a discovery mission. He wants to search for extraterrestrial life—or at least the possibility of it. Instead, he is in charge of measly mining discovery operations. If Daniel has to search for one more asteroid belt containing precious minerals for the shipyards, he'll go insane. It's time to make a change. The President calls with a mission that only Daniel can complete. Why? Because he's the only captain near the sector that needs to be explored. Yes, all because he's the closest. Daniel isn't going to let that bother him. He's going to fulfill the newly appointed discovery mission, and he's going to do a better job than any of the clone captains before him. Daniel is going to prove himself.

A radio transmission deep in space … a surveillance mission is ordered … Daniel finally has his chance to prove himself with his first official planetary exploration mission. It isn’t going to be Daniel’s first time to a new planet, but it will be his first time leading an expedition from the beginning. In the past, he led missions to asteroids, and one planetary exploration since there were no nearby captains. But this time, he is chosen to go on his first official planet exploratory mission. He is ready to prove himself a capable ship captain. What could possibly go wrong with a simple surveillance mission? Daniel is an Unwanted, surrounded by a galaxy of clones. He desires nothing more than to prove himself, but no one takes him seriously. He uses humor as a defense mechanism and stumbles his entire way through being a captain. But this is his first serious mission. He needs to make sure it succeeds at all cost.

A spaceship crashes onto a planet … completely filled with dragons. When crash landing onto a planet filled with flying, fire-breathing beasts, Daniel is uncertain he can step up as the captain his crew needs to escape the strange planet. Daniel is an Unwanted. His parents didn't want him. The Space Academy didn't want him. The shipyard he worked at for years barely wanted him. But here he was, clawing through the ranks of them all to become the captain of his very own ship. The Ghost. After one successful accidental mission, and a second mediocre one, he is now the captain of an exploratory crew. To go where no one has gone before, and all that jazz. It's always been his dream. But when he crash lands on a planet full of dragons. No, not dinosaurs. Dragons. Yes, you heard that right. Dragons. Fire-breathing, Ice-Breathing, and lots of other elemental-breathing, flying dragons. Daniel doesn't know what to do. They may not be intelligent life, but he's stranded with a small crew and they must fight their way out, fix their ship, and get as far away from what Daniel is calling "Dragon Planet" (Original—I know), and onto his next exploratory mission ... if he can survive.
