What if one of the greatest tragedies of the twentieth century was actually a heroic event that prevented nuclear war on two planets?
In this alternate history, sci-fi thriller, the central government of Oria is within weeks of defeating the revolutionaries, when Liton Rennedee, the man who started all of the chaos and bloodshed, discovers that a previously unknown far-off planet called Earth, has developed nuclear weapons. His plan: travel to Earth, take over/possess the body of Human #2, the epitome of success, a man in a position of power and influence, foment political and military instability, grab 10 nuclear warheads, bring them back to Oria, and win the revolution.
The central government learns of his plans, but has time to send only one man, war hero Hoken Rommeler. He is to possess the body of Human #1, a dyslexic, malcontent, ex-Marine, perpetual failure in life. His mission has only two directives: 1) kill Rennedee on Earth, but 2) he must also protect the Alien's Secret.
You will learn how virtual photons unlocked the secrets of the power of the black hole at the center of the Orian solar system, how the Orians polymerized water to make the ultimate superconductor, that PEPs, Potential Energy Particles, are the building blocks of all matter, and that absolute zero is the most destructive power in the universe. On Hoken's trip to earth, you will meet the Septadians, the seven-fingers, the most powerful society in the galaxy, whose intelligence is determined by their finger patterns, who saved Hoken from the militaristic, semi-barbarian Grog, and find out that Europa, one of the Galilean moons of Jupiter, is teeming with life. Hoken barely makes it to Earth, with just thirty hours before the appointed time of when he is to eliminate Rennedee.
Although hints are given from almost the beginning, only on the final pages do you find out the identities of Human #1 and Human #2. Aliens have changed our history in ways you could never imagine.
