Our culture is rife with the inference of the existence of life on other planets.

Indeed, life technologically capable of visiting our planet on a regular basis. Such visitation forms the core for a sizable group of individuals who profoundly believe that they have seen, been visited by or even abducted by Aliens.

The fabric of the story

Sothe fabric is woven into a tale of a common man whose destiny sends him out of this world.

Jack Sharp

A regular guy, jilted by his fiancés drowning his sorrows at the local pub, when his world is transformed by a gentleman offering him passage on a spaceship!

The man is Isiah Walker

and he's a recruiter. Isiah isn't recruiting just any down-on-his-luck drunk. Nope, he's looking for a special type. He seeks people without attachments. Those who disappear and all that's said is: "Whatever happened to what's his name?" Nobody with close family or close friends, which narrows the field down to what, maybe a couple of hundred million people?

Jack fits and Isiah

offer him a job working out in the suburbs of space, the hinterlands of the galaxy. Jack considers the proposal even as events close in around him and send him where our sun don't shine.

The galactic race

Mankind joins a race of galactic observers; beings that have watched us develop for hundreds of years. They've discovered alien intruders so powerful and frightening they are forced into action. They must use Humanity to help destroy this potential threat to the Universe. The race is devouring planets and taking the spoils to an unknown destination.

The journey begins

Sothe journey begins and takes us into the everyday lives of the space-borne humans inhabiting an enormous craft designed and built by humans with Alien technology.

Self-discovery and adventure

Jack learns about himself and his capabilities, he's mentally connected with a one hundred ninety pound puppy of questionable breeding. He gains true friends and meets a very special woman. As Jack and his group train hard for an unknown mission, their reward comes in the form of a one-way ticket to a planet that is systematically being destroyed by the mysterious and hideous aliens. There, they witness the death of a planet — a planet they will try desperately to save.
