Taking advantage of the worldwide Blackout, the Travelers from the planet Schyllus unite the nations of Earth into a single supernation called Pangaea, governed by the World Council. Travelers dominate the World Council, and have surreptitiously placed Travelers in strategic positions in the government, military, and society. But are the Traveler's intentions for Earth good or evil?
Simultaneously, the world's elite have established themselves in 144 utopian cities scattered throughout the globe, declaring their independence from Pangaea in utter defiance of the World Council. Civil war breaks out. But the 144 are protected by private armies armed with sophisticated weapons, including nuclear electromagnetic pulse weapons and anti-nanobot defenses.
Now on the planet Schyllus, Christiaan is deeply concerned about the Traveler's duplicitous actions on Earth. But before he can intervene, he is given a rare Eternity Orb by the Being, who sends him to distant planets on a mission to unite the 12 Planets into a mighty Intergalactic Empire.On his otherworldly journeys, Christiaan encounters the mysterious Philosopher, a civilization trapped in a virtual world controlled by a devious A.I., and a planet controlled by the godlike Machine.
All the while, the malevolent Torajii-a sentient virus created when he was blasted with gamma-rays and other high-energy radiation in the aftermath of a supernova-continues to enact his plan to exterminate every humanoid in the universe. Can Christiaan stop him?
