Product Description In a tumultuous future you may live to see, in a world poised on the brink of an uneasy peace, there will come a time of great discovery. One man's vision of a united earth will collide head-on with the ideals of a civilization so advanced that language has become nearly obsolete and conflict has evolved far beyond the simplicities of weapons and war. In this cataclysmic twilight moment in history, the peoples of our planet must band together towards a higher purpose or be destroyed by the machinations of our own short-sightedness. This is the first exciting adventure of Vladimir Ustinov and his team of scientists and philosophers, as they blaze the way for humankind's seminal encounter with The World Builders, an alien race whose nobility and cunning is matched only by their incredible achievements in the manipulation of physics. As Ustinov and his trusted companions Xan Huxley, Harry Northrop and General Jake Vicobs open the door to our first glimpse into a vast universe filled with overwhelming wonder and terrifying evil, they will discover that the ultimate equation is something far more complex than any of them could have imagined. An equation that will reach across time and space to teach new lessons, build new empires, and destroy the final barrier between man and alien. Humanity.
