Kirk Rogers got his name from his father who loved science fiction so much that he named his son after the captain of a starship. The more he learned about his namesake, the more he wanted to follow in his footsteps by exploring the final frontier. After joining the United States Air Force and applying to the astronaut program, his whole life was derailed when his sister got sick. One day when she pulled one of her famous disappearing acts, Kirk set out to find her at all costs. Little did he know, he'd have to leave the planet to do it. He soon meets a small group of strangers and they are tasked with fixing an alien device before something terrible happens and the universe is destroyed. During their adventure, he and his sister encounter a lot of strange, wonderful, and deadly things.
