Product Description

Synopsis

May 25, 2020. NASA dispatches Commander Bachman "Bach" Turner on a perilous mission to find four astronauts lost beyond Earth's solar system. Minutes after rescue, the edge of a lethal, swirling cloud of galactic plasma draws the earthship deeper into space and deposits it on a strange planet. Bach's troubles multiply when his crewmates are abducted by an evil army of Rooks-Rulers of other kingdoms. His rescue by Altemus Rider, the patriarch of a clan of geniuses, and his daughter Star, lands Bach in a beleaguered future world where he delves into alien technology with the single-minded goal of finding his crewmates and returning to Earth. In this unstable Zone of space, time is running out on all life forms, few can be trusted, and Bach's DNA is of particular interest to one alien. When he learns of a tunnel of light on a distant mount he cautiously ventures in. There, the Creator speaks, commanding him to undertake a mission through this weird, inverted galaxy in search of those with a sacred icon.

After a race among planets of future and past with Star at his side, Bach's prophetic mission takes an unthinkable turn when deep space rumbles a forewarning-and he realizes that he didn't get the Creator's final instruction. Where will he take the rescued ones? And where are his crewmates?
