Summary

Long ago, during our era, a gigantic spaceship travels silently through a galaxy far away from our Earth. For more than a hundred generations, the ship has been home to the growlers, a savage species who have never seen their home planet, Kezmara. As the ship continues on it's course, the commander understands his orders are to locate the universal collector an indestructible object that stores all essential data occurring during each era on planet Ardon and transport it to Kezmara. However, unbeknownst to the leaders of Kezmara, the commander is about to take matters into his own hands. After the commander issues new orders for the growlers to take control of the collector, enslave the inhabitants of Ardon, and create a new home for themselves, the ship's inhabitants have no idea of what or whom they are about to encounter on the strange planet. Meanwhile on Ardon, the timekeeper and his daughter, Liana, are prepared to do everything in their power to defend the collector, including moving it to another planet. But when the timekeeper discovers his people are not prepared for what they are about to face, he realizes the responsibility for saving the collector lies within him. In this intriguing science fiction tale, a timekeeper and his cohorts risk everything as they battle to save the collector, their species, and their planet from an evil alien force determined to carry out their mission.

Excerpts

Should our universe eventually end someday and return again and again with a big bang, it would be wonderful to read the histories occurring during each time period. That is the premise for this novel, the story created herein and the creation of the universal collector. Should people in an era long ago were to create an indestructible object for the purpose of storing all essential stories occurring during that era, and all future eras, then accumulated history would expand dramatically and be available to each generation thereafter. Of course, there is always the chance that someone will want the collector for themselves for power and riches.
