The year is 2040. A mining ship crash lands on the planet Chathia near the home of George and Lucille. On board, they find that the only survivors are a 2-month-old child and a small four-legged creature they later learn is called a dog. They learn this from the Creators - a race of beings that transcend time and space and, along with the Seekers, Caretakers, and Protectors, strive to bring love and order to the universe. George and Lucille also learn from the Creators that the ship originated on a distant planet called Earth and that the child they named Andrew is destined to be instrumental in saving his home planet from self-destruction in the near future. With the help of the Creators, George and Lucille raise Andrew as their own giving him the knowledge and skills needed to accomplish his mission. This is the story of Andrew's journey from a child to the leader he was destined to become. Along this journey, Andrew will befriend numerous races and creatures (both living and mechanical). He will assist in the rescue of a people enslaved by a race of robots. He will spend time on a "synthetic" Earth in preparation for his return to the real Earth and the mission he was born for - the salvation of humanity.
