Most people acknowledge the probability that life may exist beyond our solar system and universe. There are some who believe in the possibility that an advanced civilization came to earth in the distant past. This civilization may have even been the ones who created human beings. This is one version of the 'ancient astronaut' theory.

Countless books and films have speculated on this subject, in both the creative and scientific communities. There is one thing that they have in common. Almost all of them are from the perspective of a human being. In most instances humans are at the center of attention. It is all about how humans interact with the alien, or how the alien affects humans.

What if the story were told from the perspective of these ancient astronauts? To begin with, why would such an advanced civilization need to create human beings in the first place? What happened after humans were created? Were the ancient ones happy with the results? How do they feel about their creations? Are we of any significance in their lives? Or do they have more important things to worry about?

Left to Our Own Devices is a story about a space colony far away from home. A technical malfunction forces a change in their original mission. Their support ship must return home. Half the colonists cannot be awoken from deep sleep. The mission is almost scrubbed, but the remaining colonists choose to continue on. They will be stranded on this planet for an undetermined amount of time and must survive on their own. What follows is desperation, reluctant decisions, bitter conflict and war, as the colony experiences a never-ending series of events that eventually threaten their very existence.
