Striding Forth, book four of The Adventures of Ryes and Garth, follows the story begun in Tayna’s Dawn, Winterhaven and Winds of Change, moving the story forward. Striding Forth finds the starmen and humans of Winterhaven further uniting as a mysterious message out of the past, buried deep in a secret vault beneath Matlowe Village, which reveals their shared destiny. But a message arrives from Earth which shows them the direction they need to focus upon first. Somehow, they need to save the Earth and her colonies from the murderous alien race, which destroyed Tayna over three hundred years ago. The Winterhaveners set out to save Tayna and Earth with every resource they can find; starting with furthering their influence across Tayna, herself. But few welcome them with open arms, with The Laws they want enforced, which originally were set up by a Crown Prince from Kahmarr. Can the Caravaners accept their restored role upon this world they all call home?
