Book Overview
"Earth's magnetosphere is weakening more rapidly than anticipated. A reversal of Earth's polarity may be imminent," spacecraft designer Athanasia Broadbent learns.
"A geomagnetic jerk generating civilisation destroying tsunamis could follow," her informant continues.
Spurred on by this warning, Athanasia, her archaeologist husband Simon, and their world leading mathematician son Ethan cooperate with Originals in a quest to protect Earth's information by transferring it into space.
Originals have lived on Earth for over five hundred million years. They communicate by telepathy. Their ancestors experienced the devastation of life caused by a geomagnetic jerk.
The genesis of a hybrid Original opens the tale. One interacts with Athanasia's war hero great-grandfather Peter Broadbent and others. Later, the self-made billionaire Flora Maie Heenan provides finance and space launching facilities to send Athanasia's son Ethan and grandson Ambrose into space.
International villains threaten the space venture while trying to steal scientific secrets from Ethan. Ambrose uncovers the devious plot of Originals to take control of humans.
Excitement builds as Ambrose engages in space with the most intellectually advanced Original. The outcome hangs in the balance until one prevails. The victor controls the intellect sent into space thereby achieving immortality.
