Amateur Astronomer Jason Hall and his SETI pals are tracking a massive object coming into the solar system from interstellar space.
His world is about to change for ever.
In this epic science fiction trilogy, Jason finds himself on the thing he has been tracking with Arkan, the alien in his mind. How can this possibly be? he wonders. Arkan, smiling that thin enigmatic smile, presents Jason with an impossible dilemma. One of Earth’s parallel universes will go dark and Jason is the only one who can save it. It’s not a question of friendship between alien and human, it’s a question of trust!
Arkan sends Jason through the fabric of time to the distant past to alter human history. Was it even a choice? wonders Jason. But now he knows that human destiny rests on his shoulders, and when the Thing goes into orbit around Earth, the world is thrown into chaos.
Millions are infected with a mysterious mind virus. Nations take sides. Nuclear war is imminent. Jason is in a race against time. Can he save the future? He knows he must try, but can he, or is it all up to Arkan, the alien in his mind?
