Following the discovery, a mysterious individual from another dimension takes Dr. Tolliver off-planet giving him instructions to seek out metaphysical author, Daniel J. Sayer. Once together, the two find themselves being led to seemingly obscure points in history, trying to stop a madman who, through a limited, yet disturbing application of the doctor?s discovery, can now send his mind back in time. And who, through mental coercion and oppression?bordering on the edges of possession?is consequently changing history for his own ends, by changing the people who will make it. This discovery portends a paradigm shift of unparalleled proportions. Leading the two to question: Is the discovery intended to advance humanity, or destroy it? Are we truly destined to be more?than human? Excerpt: ?So?what?d you end up doing? Where?d you go?? Daniel smiled knowingly. ?Me? Uhmm?I met Albert Einstein.? Levi?s eyes widened immediately. ?Albert Einstein? You met?Albert Einstein?? Daniel nodded. ?You?re kidding?seriously? The scientist?? Daniel just sat there and nodded his head with a big grin on his face. ?Yep?sure did.? He laughed at the thought, but then decided to say it. ?Yep, I?I think I gave him Relativity Theory, at least?at least helped nudge him in that direction, anyway.? Levi?s mouth dropped open. ?What?? he asked, with astonishment. ?You met the Albert Einstein?? Tolliver repeated. ?Yep, when he was young. Did you know he played the violin? He was pretty good, too. He?? Levi cut him off. ?How come you get to meet Albert Einstein, and I get to entertain a bunch of kids with a bunch of?with a bunch of random?blibbering blurbish, which, by the way, they?ll probably forget as quickly as I did.? He said it sarcastically, yet with his usual sense of dry humor. ?And you?you get to meet the smartest man of the twentieth century?or perhaps ever!? He paused and looked at Daniel as if he may still be pulling his leg. Daniel replied sincerely. He spoke it as he remembered it: ?Maybe??Example is the school of mankind; we will learn at no other.?? Levi?s eyebrows rose higher as he and Daniel looked at each other. Both issued a slight laugh through their noses, then went to sipping their coffees, just sitting there, remembering, thinking and wondering. ?I don?t know, but something tells me that it?s as if we are down here on a small level, you know?" Daniel started again. "A real small level, and we?re down here for something?to learn something, or to see something? something. I don?t know, yet. Still, I think that we?re here for a reason. I mean, when Albert and I were?I don?t know, expanding, whatever it was, it was as if I knew where I was from? Levi spoke abruptly. ?So?he let you call him, Albert??« less
