Where did mankind really come from? Why are we here? We can't understand the past until we embrace the future.

These critical mysteries take center stage as Earth emerges into a galactic society that is far more perilous than anyone could have imagined. Our history is far more complicated than we could have known. Can a few brilliant minds find a way out for Earth?

One saving grace is that there are those who believe ancient clues foretell that Earth has a destiny, and if we can survive our present difficulties, we might just find out what that destiny is....

Dr. Mark Spencer was a young, up-and-coming history and anthropology professor who was all too familiar with what happens to less advanced civilizations when suddenly exposed to others of considerably higher technology. There's only one survivor, and the culture witnessing magic isn't it. When modern-day Earth suddenly finds itself on the losing end of that proposition, a team of the world's best scientists is put together to find a solution. Of course the advanced society being friendly, Earth's citizens uniting, and the world's politicians working together for the common good would help tremendously, but...what if none of that were true?

First of all like many other reviews mention the sex bits well I can do with out and it is abit cringe at times but its no unbearable.
Now the story itself is absolutely brilliant! Ive always been fascinated by the real world similarities between our ancient culture and this ties them all together so well. Definitely moving on to book 2.

Absolutely brilliant.

The book is written in the first person and has several different viewpoints. While the chapter titles try to tell you which person to your are moving to, there is so little character development that even more, having finished the book I can't tell you their names - to many Dr this or Major that. Hard to care about characters that you never remember

Too many first person characters
