Right to Know
Right to Know is a fast-paced space opera about first contact — with a difference. When Art Stoddard, civilian information officer of the generation starship Mayflower II, is kidnapped by a secret revolutionary organization determined to overthrow the power of the Captain and crew, he becomes embroiled in a conflict that tests everything he thought he knew, forced to choose between preserving social order and restoring the people's right to know.
The rebels want him to release dangerous knowledge to the passengers: they are approaching a habitable planet. Before he can act on that knowledge, he is arrested by the ship's security and brought before the captain — only to be kidnapped again, ripped from the safety of his ship by the mysterious residents of Peregrine.
Suddenly he finds himself a pawn in a game that will determine the fate of both ship and planet. As he and his new-found friends rush to save both, he faces questions of courage, loyalty, and moral responsibility. The only tool he has is knowledge: knowledge that can cause the death of millions... or save them.
