What they uncover upon their return, however, is a universe ruled by the fearsome Daklin Empire, an authoritarian force that has dominated the galaxy for millions of years. As Alex and his lifetime love, Paula, along with their son Zander race to safeguard Earth, they must grapple with chilling truths: that the galaxy’s ancient tachyon tunnel network was not created by the Daklin, but by some civilization tens of millions of years before. Alex and his team, now joined by computer whiz Megan, scientist Mark, and cybernetic partner Emily discover the very fabric of the universe is not what it seems. During this compelling adventure, they explore profound scientific concepts, Tachyon tunneling, capable of unlocking new forms of travel across time and space.
