War tore apart Johua, a ruling planet in space where power meant everything, and corruption of power ruined not only Johua, but all other planets awakened to space travel. The conflict between the Johuan's ruling party and the protectors of the universe, a group of Johuan's who call themselves the Ovions, reached a critical point. Despite the masses of Johua battling against the comparatively fewer Ovions, the Ovions had prevailed through superiority in skills and an infallible spirit. A team of Johuan scientist devised a plan that would contain if not eliminate their foe, the Ovions. The plan involved the introduction of EM1, an emotional management technique, that would curb the rage within the Ovions that the Johuan scientists believed drove them to unfailingly overpower the otherwise genetically equal Johuans. In an effort to retain the tentative peace that had arisen, the Council of Ovion agreed to the terms on the basis that all of Johua adopt the same practices. Hence an agreement was signed, and peace reigned supreme within Johua and all of the awakened worlds in which the Ovions presided as protectors. But now, as the seed of corruption would have it, unrest is stirring amongst the Johuans. A plan is hatching to rid the universe of its Ovion protectors and to amass the wealth of the awakened worlds for Johua. Rising in the midst of this emerging turmoil is one famed mad-scientist, Bimas Chalwey, who uncovers the failings of EMI, the existence of the Heilars, long lost cousins to the Johuan and pursues his plans to overcome an apocalypse of massive proportions that spans the entire universe. Narrated from the point of view of its main character Sim Drwal Chalwey and that of its several key characters, this science-fiction genre story unfolds in the experiences of its character and is a journey of adventure, action and suspense that spans from Johua across the universe to their arrival to our home planet, Earth.
