Fallen stars never stay on earth.
Such is the case of sixteen-year-old Carmen Esmaier, citizen of planet Terra and daughter of two of its most revered heroes. Shielded by her vigilante of an aunt since her parents' deaths, Carmen doesn't dare mention her dream of following in their footsteps and joining the army.
But that all changes when a team of scouts arrives at the colony to host a contest, the prize being a coveted position in the army. For Carmen, that doesn't just mean soldiership and escape from her aunt, but a chance to work with Casper Conduir, her childhood hero...and perhaps something more than that.
It doesn't matter that she'll have to navigate a jungle of carnivorous trees and the discrimination of half the colony just to get to the contest. It doesn't matter that she arrives an hour late, nor that she has no weapon.
After all, she just needs to fight for her happily ever after, and it'll come...right?

Assignment: Avalon
Can a young, shipwrecked space pilot use the primitive airplanes of Avalon to defeat the evil Preceptorate? Pilot First Class Melodan Castille of the Revolutionary Space Force has just graduated top of her class from the RSF Academy. She's a good pilot and knows it: what she doesn't know is why she's out in the boondocks when her classmates are gearing up for the final assault on the Preceptorate's headquarters on Earth that will end the century-old Revolution. By comparison, her assignment to scout the mysterious planet Avalon means nothing. Nothing, that is, until her scoutcraft is shot out of space as she enters the system; nothing until her lifeslip crashes in the middle of a local uprising; nothing until she finds out that the "final" attack on Earth her classmates are making is really only a prelude to the long, bloody struggle that will come if the evil Preceptorate succeeds in its plans to make Avalon its last, secret stronghold. Though mistrusted by the local freedom fighters who should be her allies and hunted by the planetary governor, Melodan must find a way to get a message to the Revolutionary Space Force -- before it's too late, for her, for Avalon, and for the galaxy's hope for freedom and peace.Complete
