About this ebook
Mankind was about to be offered an opportunity to realise the next age in their evolution. But before the offer can be made events force those hoping to make this offer to withdraw it. Human kind has set itself upon a course of certain destruction and war rages across the world.
A single chance circumstance, the rescue, of one man, Petré, makes an initial contact that was never supposed to occur. This single act of mercy results in far reaching ramifications that threaten not only Petré and his rescuer, but also the separate peoples they represent. Petré suddenly finds himself living amongst an advanced race of beings that through their history show what man could become. Petré’s emotional stasis is tested to the limit as he discovers exactly what these beings represent, both individually and as a society. He finds love and hate, jealousy and admiration, confusion along with the answers to many questions of which he has many, but some of which he is afraid to ask. Overall he discovers a revelation, a way to save mankind from its own self-inflicted extinction.
But others have their own agendas and see Petré as an opportunity to fulfil their own dark desires. He must pick his way through the minefield of truth and lies, any variation of which vie for his attention and all of which seek to promise the deliverance of his people. Should he believe, his heart or his head? The heart offers much, perhaps trust and true redemption, but the affairs of the heart work slowly, mankind is under a great threat and may not survive long enough to see it through. So perhaps his head would be a better path to follow at least he would see the promised results in his lifetime.
Petré cannot hope to win through on his own. He must decide to either ally with those who offer advanced technology and science, an evolutionary short cut, to win the day; or to trust in those that offer something more than a short-term fix. The fate of mankind lies firmly in his decision. But whatever he decides will have far reaching effects, the results of which will surely form the catalyst that forces irreversible change upon all those involved. He may even herald events that may destroy them all.

I have to thank my father and an uncle by marriage on my mother’s side, both of whom are sadly no longer with us, for my lifelong love of science fiction and fantasy. From my early childhood these two persons, whilst sharing their love of the genre had inadvertently seeded the passion within me. My early introduction was based mainly around articles and stories appearing in a magazine called ‘Astounding Science Fiction’. This publication came out monthly and I waited on the edge of my seat to be read, and then to read for myself, the stories in the latest edition. Contributors like Burroughs, Asimov, Vance, Harrison, Anderson and Bradbury all featured heavily throughout my early literary experiences. In primary school a teacher introduced me to a certain Mr. J. R. R. Tolkien and his book 'The Hobbit'. Once a week during the summer months my classmates and I would troop out to a grassy mound beneath the oak trees behind our prefab classroom and we would sit in the balmy summer warmth listening intently to the words being read to us. A spark had ignited within the recesses of my mind, the kindling was lit and my imagination was flaring up. But it was to be a long time before anything reached paper. My own discipline in writing probably owes much to many years of writing commercial contracts for a living. Back then it had not occurred to me to write a complete story, for life was in full swing, children, a mortgage and a career took up all my efforts. But now I have more time of my own, I finally have the time to actually write for myself and find a deep enjoyment in being able to concentrate on developing these past disparate scribbles into full blown narratives and hopefully finally into published books. I try to make my written images work in the mind-set of current culture, a parallel perhaps to our own scientific knowledge, the boundaries stretched a little to encompass imaginary developments in both known and unknown sciences and technologies, for after all we are very, very far from understanding everything about this universe in which we reside. I like to describe things in great detail, try and open up the imagination of the reader and my hope is that whatever you read and experience within the pages of my books shall be as immersive and enjoyable as it has been for me to write them. So thank you for reading my works if you have, it has been a pleasure writing them and there are more ideas on the way. Feedback is crucial to an author like myself, there is no way of knowing how the books rate unless I am told so. Therefore I ask that after reading each one you please leave a positive comment on the book page or alternatively if you would like to make contact with me, I would take great pleasure in hearing from you. Remember, encouragement from readers is beyond value to an indie author. You can get in touch with me at: Solin.deteinde@btinternet.com.
