Mackov is a dreamer   By day; a shunned laboratory technologist laboring under the mocking eye of an overbearing manager.  By night; an itinerant inventor struggling under the petty rule of a grasping wife.   Bynova is an Empress   The forceful, yet self-doubting ruler who has lost the love of her life to her greatest rival, Unssa.  Now, with the help of a treacherous Imperial Council, Unssa schemes to take the throne as well.   Thrown Together   These two embattled lives collide in a desperate attempt to stop an onrushing planetoid that threatens to destroy Earth.  As Mackov falls into a forbidden love for Bynova, their enemies plot to thwart their efforts, eliminate him, and topple her.   A Trilogy   This is the first in a series that begins with the clash of two cultures and ends in a life-and-death struggle against a heart-less anti-civilization that threatens to take over the entire the galaxy.

Why you should read this book   This book is a recipe for a possible future.  Pour together several critical advances in bio and computer technology.  Fold in several questionable social trends.  Mix well with the spoon of self-delusion.  Then, bake for an unspecified amount of time.  Sprinkle with the usual insanity that underlies human behavior.  Serve cold.   About the Author   The author is a frustrated old guy who has spent the last forty years cutting open dead bodies and peering through a microscope in a dark room wondering all the time what he was looking at.  He’s mystified by the behavior of his fellow human beings while not quite under-standing why his lovely wife is still with him (trying to keep him out of trouble).  Then, there are his two wonderful daughters who turned out okay despite having him as a father.   Mackov’s creator is a former US Army officer with ‘experience’ in many fields (meaning he stumbled into them). He enjoys drawing, carpentry, reading, cartooning, photography, and plays a beat up old tenor sax in his ‘spare’ time.
