Tina never worries about being ordinary--she doesnt have to, since shes known practically forever that shes not just Tina Mains, average teenager and beloved daughter. Shes also the keeper of an interplanetary rescue beacon, and one day soon, its going to activate, and then her dreams of saving all the worlds and adventuring among the stars will finally be possible. Tinas legacy, after all, is intergalactic--she is the hidden clone of a famed alien hero, left on Earth disguised as a human to give the universe another chance to defeat a terrible evil. But when the beacon activates, it turns out that Tinas destiny isnt quite what she expected. Things are far more dangerous than she ever assumed--and everyone in the galaxy is expecting her to actually be the brilliant tactician and legendary savior Captain Thaoh Argentian, but Tina....is just Tina. And the Royal Fleet is losing the war, badly--the starship that found her is on the run and they barely manage to escape Earth with the planet still intact.
