Here, an american synopsis of the first few books;
Space cruisers, admiral ships, war transports, maintenance shuttles...by the thousands! A formidable convoy launched in search of new livable planets. A convoy named Wake upon which one can encounter all manner of races, intelligences, peoples but where one race remains as yet unknown: human beings.
They are about to run into Navis, a feisty young girl shipwrecked on a lush uninhabited planet who’s grown up and fended entirely for herself. Contrary to all on Wake who are either mind controllers or controlled, she is neither and that makes her very dangerous.
Taken aboard Wake, Navis proves irresistible to its powers. Her resistance to being mind-read, her feistiness and indomitable character make her a popular new guest at increasingly higher echelons. In this volume, she undergoes training for special missions and does so with flying colors. But when she turns down the advances of a prominent official smitten with her, dangerous backstabbing politicking puts her in grave danger.
Navee is assigned a mission by Wake to investigate the steam-punk world of planet TRI-JJ 68. It’s a glacial planet that had been inhabited by a nature-communing, peaceful lot that Sillage simply passed over as unworthy. But in a recent pass, they discover that suddenly a whole civilization has sprouted and reached up to its industrial age, and this in record time! Sillage is now intrigued and so is Navis, as these new inhabitants closely resemble the race of which, up until now, she had been the only representative: humans! Has she found her own people?
