Skipping in time, the reader will want to hold on to watch the pieces fall in place. There is more to the universe, and our essence, than we can understand. Government leaders backed by global elites want to obscure the real reasons for dominating the space race. But, these leaders, along with intelligence services, have long been seduced by power and cannot be trusted. Earth is at a technological tipping point. The demand for rare earth metals and minerals to feed emerging technologies is creating a world-wide competition that could impact human survival. Humanity must rely on artificial intelligence, or something else, to connect events in time to be able to change our course forever to survive. Benjamin Oliver, a semi-retired attorney in Kansas, was a cancelled dark operative in one of the most hidden clandestine services. Now, he is being called back into service to recover some long-lost specimens that hold the key to unraveling the secrets that can change human existence. His quest encounters Louan, a WWII hero; Katherine, an MI6 senior director emeritus; and Rosett, a rogue Danish intelligence operative, who all have their own secrets to keep.
