FM PRES BORNHOME (2015)

"When TerraCore - a substance able to terraform planets - is discovered, it changes the landscape of the universe... until it becomes a limited resource, giving rise to piracy and leaving planets dead in its wake. In the midst of a battle, Captain Langer crash-lands on one of those dead worlds and discovers that its straggling inhabitants are quite different from what he expected - in more ways than one."

"While stranded on Bornhome, Langer gets close to a few of the planet's residents - some pleasant, like orphaned child Timi, and some terrifying, like the wraithish beasts called Kind Souls who wander the abandoned fairgrounds looking to kill. The most intriguing person he meets is Shane, a mysterious woman looking after Timi and a large group of abandoned kids. But unbeknownst to them, one of the pirates from the space battle - Langer's longtime nemesis, Tash - has also crashed on Bornhome, and has his own self-serving motivations "

"What makes a human? Langer learns that Shane and her companions are different in ways that make him a little uncomfortable. But his revelations are interrupted by Tash and his band of pirates, who come storming into Shane's camp, capturing kids and ready to kill. Shane, Timi, and Langer are suddenly in a race for survival, and no one is guaranteed to get out alive!"

"Captain Langer finally comes face to face with the Gray Man, and also with the truth about Shane's future and the nature of the Kind Souls. He is confronted with a choice he never thought he'd have to make. This final issue of the Sci-Fi miniseries decides Bornhome's fate!"
