The Lost Astronaut by D. J. Coning

Jag has a recurring dream that terrifies him. It foretells of the impending destruction of Earth and the horrific fate of humankind. Raised by his grandparents on a Midwestern farm, Jag is selected as one of twelve prodigy students enrolled in the first-ever Space University on board the International Space Station, where he competes against fellow classmates to create an invention that will propel humanity into intergalactic travel.

Overcome with jealousy, a fellow classmate sabotages Jag's creation and sends him spiraling into deep space, where he is enslaved by ruthless pirates, sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit, and put in a position where he ultimately holds the salvation of Earth in his hands.

Can Jag overcome his bitterness and forgive those who harmed him in time to save humanity?
