In these seven short stories, David J. Patten explores contacts between humans and other enigmatic beings. As the stories unfold, our questions become: where are they from, and what do they want from us?
Each story depicts humans driven by their search for answers about the mysteries of life. In Mysterious Masrur, an Indian archaeologist begins receiving messages from the Hindu deity Shiva. In The Sotsiaph Roundel, excavators discover an artifact that could record a turning point in human prehistory. Is this a true discovery or a hoax?
Other stories involve characters who encounter mysterious strangers. In Cassie, a psychiatrist meets a beautiful woman at a gym, and his encounters with her may transform his life. The Singularity features a young man who after a fatal accident meets Rosita, a beautiful seductress. What will become of them both in their altered states of being?
Patten's protagonists are mystified by what they don't understand about history and humanity. Can they find the answers to human existence and the universe?
