Imagine you’re a middle-age, extraordinary engineer working for a private space company. After years of preparation, you're selected as the sole passenger for a new spacecraft that will study the heavens like none other. Then after years of travel, in another galaxy no less, communication with home is no longer possible. As time passes the Company gives up declaring their investment is lost, much less that your wife and son must move on alone.

Then one day decades later, a deep-space probe appears from outside the Milky Way into Earth’s high orbit with capabilities beyond anything known. More amazing, this high-speed probe transmits coded messages astounding leaders, engineers and scientists with designs and formulas decades ahead that will definitely change the balance of power. A first deposit with more to come based on probe extracts, the American government expends considerable energy and manpower ensuring what they learn isn’t captured by foreign concerns. The information is so valuable that top scientists and engineers are sequestered at Area 51 in order to implement science breakthroughs.

Unfortunately, dramatic events reshape the environment for Dr. Bruce Thompson as his overdue return home is blocked by tough inter-galactic inhabitants. These highly advanced, aggressive, vindictive creatures test Thompson’s resolve and strain his uncanny ability to respond with equally sophisticated technology. An ensuing chase across trillions of miles pushes Bruce and two complex state-of-the art cybernetic androids to their limit.

Meanwhile on Earth, attempted breaches of Area 51 are met with stiff armed resistance after information leaks that something remarkable was on that probe. Steps by the U.S. President are unprecedented. But will Dr. Thompson see his wife and son again? Will the President be able to protect the nation from foreign aggressors who will fight to the death to gain control?
