Book 5 of the Two Worlds Epic
It is the century following Earth’s destruction in a nuclear holocaust. Only
the rescue of a handful of humans by benevolent aliens prevented the extinction
of the human race. The aliens helped the survivors establish a colony on the
alien home planet, Tamacra.
Adam McCubbin is the only son of a Tamacran business tycoon. He is torn as to
what he will do with his life. His father wants him to choose the family
business, but he has a passion for the Earth Archives, where the history of the
lost world is stored.
His decision to become an Archivist does not sit well with his father, who cuts
him off from his inheritance; nor with his wife, who leaves him. His domestic
situation is worsened by the fact that the only professional opening for an
archivist is on Ellicron, the second planet of the Epsilon Eridani System.
With much trepidation, he relocates light-years from home. After a period of
culture shock, he discovers that he likes his job. It offers him the fulfilment
he is looking for, requires frequent interstellar travel, and provides him with
opportunities for adventure and some romance.
However, all is not well among the stars. The booming economies of the colony
worlds have spawned two mega-corporations who are fighting for dominance in the
various interstellar markets. One of these is McCubbin Enterprises, headed by
Adam’s father; the same corporation he turned his back on to become an
historian.
In the titanic battle of giants, McCubbin Enterprises is losing. While his father’s
company is faltering, Pickford Estates, the other competitor, is getting
stronger.
Adam has knowledge that could tip the scales in favor of his father’s business.
There is a problem. His estrangement from his father is total. All of his
offers to help have gone unanswered and it looks like his father’s company will
soon.
