Worlds Beyond Time

Saved once again from self-destruction, Toramin Eblou receives a message along with an infusion of enhanced nanomachines. He is to return to what remains of his native Earth, yet has no memory of his birth planet or any previous missions. In fact, he has no idea of his future role or that he will be drawn into a conflict between two of the most powerful civilizations in the galaxy.

One side, the B'tari, has for millennia acted as self-proclaimed guardians of humanity – but from a distance. And this time they will bring back a human even older than Toramin, someone with near legendary status. Roidon Chanley is a man notorious for his exploits in leisure as well as work.

B'tari officer Zerrana is tasked to coordinate the human operatives. A challenge in itself, and she doubts even these extraordinary humans will be enough against such an indomitable foe. So she invokes the help of an entity whose true origins must never be revealed.

Excerpt: Time is fractured – that's what she'd learned. They'd escaped the wave, taken that one giant leap only when forced to; gone intergalactic. Time, she knew now, was not just fractured, it was broken.
