The Carbon Chronicles
A Quest for Truth Beyond the Veil
For four hundred years, humans scoured the far corners of the galaxy for any signs of life only to be met by barren worlds without number and the silent vacuum of space. The reality of a lifeless universe beyond Earth provides fertile ground for religious zealots and their allies. In time, any hint of the existence of non-Earth life becomes a threat that must never be allowed to materialize.
Struggling to survive on a forgotten planet, Ross Bowman becomes the unwitting savior of a hidden world filled with a People and a Truth unknown to those who vie for power. The deeper Bowman probes the mysteries of this lost alien civilization, the nearer he comes to his own destiny and that of the future course of humanity.
The dome when struck by the high intensity light seemed to spring to life. Rainbows of cascading color danced in every direction as Bowman moved the light beam across the upper reaches of the dome's polished surface. The spectacle of light was like nothing the two men had ever witnessed. It was as if the light had taken on a life of its own and as if they themselves had become as one with this newly evolved entity.
Mesmerized the men gazed into the majestic mystery of the dome, each feeling he had seen beyond infinity itself. The galaxy fanned out dancing and spinning before them. Suns with their collections of orbiting worlds studded web-like patterns that the men somehow knew formed the fabric of space-time itself.
"Bowman! Louis! Are you guys down there?" The booming voice came out of nowhere. The soaring spirits of the two men, suddenly confronted with the unwelcome intrusion, sputtered in mid-flight and spiraled out of control slamming back into their bodies with such force that their minds were left awash in confusion as they struggled to catch their breath.
