Mickie Dalton is now fifteen but in his mind is the genetic memory of the entire life of Markel, once the leader of the Pfafth race in their prime as the rulers of the known Universe and during their downfall and flight into hiding. In his three years of travelling the Universe aboard the inter-galactic trading ship, he has grown, matured and developed some of the astonishing and lethal powers of the Pfafth and met many different species, some of them friends, some dangerous enemies. He has also encountered and fought the dreadful Sillaron, the frightening and destructive race that caused the downfall of the Pfafth over a million years ago and he has barely escaped with his life at times. Although unable to contact them, Mickie has discovered where the Pfafth have locked themselves away in a Space and Time outside of normal Space and Time. Then the Pfafth make contact with Mickie and he finally gets to meet his species and learn of the role for which he has been bred over a million year program. But the encounter reveals a reality for which he could never have prepared himself and a crisis far worse than could have been dreamed of. Unless the hidden galaxy of the Pfafth is returned to normal Space and Time, all of the Universe could become unstable and break apart. Mickie is faced with the ultimate choice between his own life and that of his entire species.
