Z9 City: Champion of Daoqin (Book 1)
D.C. Hightower

Sixteen-year-old Trig Moore has never stood beneath an open sky.

Born in the Zenith Colony, a vast network of space stations in deep space, he has never felt the warmth of the sun, breathed fresh air, or known the pull of Earth’s gravity. Yet he has always longed for the distant world his parents once called home.

Trig and his adopted brother Bobby are taken in by the colony’s founder, Dr. Joseph Gransom. But breaches in the colony’s defenses begin to change the course of their lives.

An extraordinary discovery on a forgotten island sets powerful forces in motion. As the island’s history and secrets are revealed, Trig and Bobby are drawn into a conflict whose consequences reach far beyond anything they could have imagined or feared.

A story of resilience, sacrifice, and the bonds that shape us, Z9 City: Champion of Daoqin blends fast-paced action with haunting emotional depth, unraveling a mystery whose answers are not far beyond the stars, but lie deep within the human heart.
