(PRLeap.com) "Uncovering a Myth", a new book by L. Kaisler, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Tomas is ecstatic to finally graduate and earn his wings so he can explore the galaxy, but when his archaeologist parents do not show up for graduation, Tomas begins to worry that something bad has happened to them. Determined to find his parents, Tomas buys his ship and sets off for their last known location-a far-away, uninhabited moon called Nyssa. However, his mission is sidetracked when he comes across classmate and rival Banys, who has been stranded without a ship. After begrudgingly allowing Banys to travel with him, the two struggle to unravel a mystery Tomas's parents had dedicated their lives to: discovering the mythical planet Earth. Along their journey, the two unlikely copilots learn each other's secrets as well, permanently aligning their fates in the process. "Uncovering a Myth" is a sci-fi epic of Odyssean proportions, filled with twists and turns, and a little romance.
