Summary
The Colors of Space is a fast-paced space opera set in a distant future where interstellar travel is monopolized by a mysterious alien race called the Lhari.
These silver-haired beings guard the secret of faster-than-light travel, controlling all commerce between the stars and relegating humans to a subordinate role in the galaxy.
The story follows Bart Steele, a young Earthman who suspects that the Lhari are hiding the truth about space travel.
When his father is murdered for uncovering dangerous information, Bart undergoes a dramatic transformation—disguising himself as a Lhari to infiltrate their operations and unlock the secrets of the mysterious "color drive".
As he travels aboard a Lhari ship through the depths of space, Bart must navigate shifting loyalties, dangerous secrets, and the dazzling wonders—and perils—of the cosmos.
But as he learns more, he begins to question everything: Are the Lhari really villains, or is the truth far more complicated?
