Book Description

To a basic civilization, advanced science can seem like magic. What happens when magic seems like advanced science? It depends on who is the observer and who is the observed. John Crackstone and his Science Officer, Tem, accidentally become trapped on a cloaked planet on their way to a priority first contact mission. This planet and its unusual inhabitants change Crackstone's original mission, as well as the current time line of the universe. The Ambassador comes face to face with the mysterious "Time Keepers" race; Crackstone's civilization is a class three, the Time Keepers are at least a class six. The final installment of the Crackstone Chronicle trilogy answers the question of how an Ambassador from a system in the Andromeda Galaxy relates to two humans, an omniscient, immortal race called the "Time Keepers" and why scores of alien civilizations become interested in twentieth century Earth. The three novels of the Crackstone Chronicles, Extinction, Connections and Extraordinary Solution carry the reader through time and space, exploring the question: why would extraterrestrials visit Earth, let alone conceal themselves here?
