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?

Could have been a great book By Kemkais Ok, this is only my third review and I would try to articulate as best as possible what I did like and what I did not like on this book. English is not my first language so I apologise in advance for any spelling error or grammatical mistake.First, what I did like, the world building was excellent;. It was really interesting to learn with the human how galactic society functions and its hierarchy. And the concept used as money was well thought and quite believable. So well done on that point Mr Gordon.What I did not like about this book :- throughout the books, differents point of view are adopted in the first person. It was really badly executed as the change would occur sometimes in the middle of an important moment. It was confusing and interrupted the flow of the book.- I could not really differentiate between the voice of each protagonist. Unless they made a remark that mention them explicitely by name. Whether they were men or women.- Aside from the political aspects, this book reads like a teenage boy wet dream. Let me explain, first, each and every women described in this book are gorgeous, except one who is nicknamed Dr Mom ! And, the alien women, they are all humanoid with interminable legs and big chest. REALLY ??? WTH ? The last straw was with the main protagonist which sleeps with each and every woman he encounters. The author also throw in some twin sisters who both sleep (not at the same time, only alternally) with the hero. I literally rolled my eyes at that because if it is not the ultimate cliché for a prepubescent boy wet dream I don't know what is. Then the main protagonist discovers that he has "feelings" for another gorgeous doctor. Does he change his sleeping habits, to, I don't know,try to woo her ? No, because, you know, he loves women and they are fun ! Ok, not a lot of moral fortitude for our good doctor but then why not ? The problem I have with that it is the double standard. The love interest has gone on a mission for almost one year and not once it is hinted that she misses sex like any other healthy young women. No she is too focused on saving the world. Really?? Really ?? It helps also that alien men are rather effeminate and not so much interested in sex so earth male are very sought after for their sexual drive and enthusiasm. WTF ???What I really disliked is the end, because there is a major cliffhanger. You can leave avenues open for the next book but you cannot end one at what feels like the middle of the book.I personnally won't buy another book by this author unless he does a major revision on this one and expand it a little to add more conflict resolution

Although this is apparently the author's first novel, it reads like a work by a seasoned writer who knows how to tell a story and keep the reader's interest. This novel tells a fascinating story of First Contact. Earth is contacted by an apparently benevolent alien society and suddenly humanity's leaders must make decisions about our planet's future. In this novel the author presents fascinating speculations about mankind's place in the universe.Characterizations in this novel are good. The author tells the story from the perspectives of several of the leading characters and uses a somewhat odd format in which some of the characters narrate from the first person while others are presented by a second person narration. While a bit odd, the author pulls it off.One minor nit: the editing in this novel needs work. In particular there are annoying pervasive errors in the use of apostrophes -- "Novidians" plural is often written as "Novidian's" (possessive) when the intent is obviously plural, not possessive.Overall this novel presents interesting speculations, good characterizations, and a plot that gives the reader something to root for. Evidently a sequel is planned and we can all look forward to it. RJB.

By Caleb The good points of this book is an original view of galactic civilization, and it had good pacing on introducing galactic politics and technology.Negative points are that the names get very confusing as all the characters have tittles, first names, last names, and several have nicknames and several of them share titles. If a characters name is major greg anderson, then he should be the only major, and always either refer his first or last name every time he is mentioned, and if a character is known by a nickname always use the nickname, dont interchange it. A lot of characters have PHD's and their title is doctor, this should be changed to physicist, biologist, physiologist, etc since every doctor has a different field of study. Furthermore the male hero sleeps with every female except the one he is in love with. the last bad point is that through out the book it has annoying cliff hangers for instance one of the characters is about to learn vital information but then they stop for tea and ten paragraphs later we learn the vital information. The discovery of the galactic civilization is pretty interesting it was unnecessary to pad the book with those words.All in all I think this book is more on its next to last draft, with a lot of things either needing to be cut out, or some consistency thrown in on the names.
