Setting Seed is the first of the Guardian and Traveler Chronicles, part of the Colony Series. In this first installment, the not entirely cohesive team of three sets out from First Colony headed back into the world of man. The question is and has been: Will they be able to complete their mission to awaken the remaining sleeping Ancients before man's war erupts and the cataclysm foretold comes to pass? The Dark Tribe within Guardian, the human emotions still present in Traveler and Travis, and the struggles that intensify along their path create an undercurrent of unrest and discord. The growing conflict and controversy fans the embers of unspoken fears and stokes the flames of contention.
