The Jewel of Setheos
|
In the distant future, and from the midst of a utopian paradise, the artificially intelligent machine army emerged. Dubbed the Mantis due to their insect-like appearance, their unsympathetic reign of destruction has left at least a dozen colonized worlds in ruin, and a dozen more in fear. As a result, an elite group of starship pilots and warriors was formed for the sole purpose of fighting against this cancer to the galaxy. Allan Becker is one such pilot. He was found barely alive, unconscious among the icy-cold wreckage of a downed hover-carrier on a distant planet. His body was far too damaged to be saved, but the brain was all they would need. Using his DNA as a template, and utilizing the most advanced form of nanotechnology to date, his new body was constructed. Even now he appeared as a normal human in every way, but unlike others, he would not age, never fall ill, and would possess greater strength and speed than ordinary humans. 80 years later, Allan Becker, by all appearances, did not look a day over 23. The Solaran (extremely elusive beings of incredible intelligence) will lead Allan to a beautiful, emerald-like device of astonishingly advanced technology. The jewel is the key to opening a mysterious time portal on a distant alien planet. Over time, Allan begins to realize that he is slowly developing abilities imparted to him by the jewel that he possesses; a device which absorbs cosmic energy and channels it through him. Among other things, he develops a powerful telekinetic ability, and his powers and abilities continue to increase over time. With the power of the jewel, Allan is able to activate the time portal, and journey seven centuries into the past. Now, in the year 2012, he will return to Earth and search for a way to alter future history; to keep the Mantis from coming into existence, and to ultimately save humanity. In the process, Allan will find love in this century, a love that will endure throughout time. Because Allan is in possession of the jewel, the creator of the Mantis, Daman, in his desperate attempt to obtain the jewel's power, is now in pursuit of Allan here on Earth in 2012.  |
