After the End - The Lost Race, #0

Two Prequel stories from the world of The Lost Race. The Arrival Earth is on the verge of annihilation, and all that remains of the human race is a stolen spaceship with a motley crew. Reid, their leader, has to make a decision because they're running out of food and fuel both, and none of them knows where they are. When they stumble upon the planet Petar and are attacked by a strange creature, Reid is ready to give up hope.
A mysterious race called Derohi, saves them and promises to protect them, however, giving them hope. The Derohi have magic and are capable of feats that are incomprehensible to humans. Reid dares not trust their good will or protection, but has he a choice? Survival When Reid escapes the mob that's hunting him, the last thing he expects is to stumble onto the last surviving member of the Derohi. Rowen would be within his rights to kill him, but he heals him instead and protects him.
Reid knows he made a mistake, but is it too late to make amends?
