As a baby, Jake Cutler was separated from his family and left on the planet Remota, deep in the seventh solar system. Eleven years later and Jake isn't like other boys-he has purple eyes and carries a secret within himself that could change the entire universe.
When Remota is attacked by ruthless space pirates on the hunt for Jake, he manages to escape. But now he's on the run with a bounty hunter and the suspicious-looking crew of a spaceship called the Dark Horse. Forced to contend with zero-gravity, shipwrecks, black holes, and countless enemies, Jake must discover the truth about his past before he is hunted down and caught.
This action-packed first book in a planned trilogy is full of aliens, space monsters, gadgets, battleships, and one boy's search for his destiny.

When he was a baby, Jake Cutler lost his dad in a spaceship accident and was sent to Remota to be safe. As Jake grows up in a monastery with many brothers, he gets eye implants because his eyesight went bad. After 8 years in the monastery, the Interstellar Navy, disguised as space pirates, attacked the monastery to get Jake. Father Pius sent Jake through a secret tunnel to escape to another planet. Soon Jake meets Callidus and Capio, who helps him board a ship to a different planet. After they board the ship, they find out that they are on a space pirate ship! The three 'passengers' decide to help them if they found the mythical planet called Altus. When they get a 'special piece of cargo,' Jake finds out it is a person named Kella. Soon they find an abandoned spaceship, and find an alien from the planet Taan-Centuar called Nanoo. Soon they all team up to find the planet Altus and defeat Jake's Uncle once and for all. This is one of my favorite books.
This awesome book is one of my favourites. The story is great in text but I would really like some pictures
