Let's hope they are nothing like us. Man is in a constant state of war. We launch missiles with one hand and pollute Earth with the other. In the midst of our self-destruction, no one considers the possibility of an extraterrestrial threat. Within our galaxy exists a neighboring civilization. There, a species most malevolent and merciless has evolved. They cherish that which we take for granted. They understand the value of limited resources. They prevent their extinction by harnessing the potential of all things to aid in securing their future. And we are not prepared. Welcome to Earth, a planet threatened by natural disasters, immortal aliens, and Nuclear Armageddon. Welcome to Eben Rahl's Multiverse.
