12 Planets of the Intergalactic Map: Books 1-3

What happens when 12 civilizations from different planets meet for the very first time? Will their common origin unite them into a mighty Intergalactic Empire? Or will they destroy each other?

The people of the planet Schyllus in the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy possess the "Intergalactic Map" which plots 12 planets in the Local Group of galaxies colonized by the "First Ones." Schyllus is one of the planets. Earth is another. There are 10 more.

Scientists on Schyllus discover that the Maker has created a device in deep space—the Gryben Anomaly—that allows them to instantaneously travel between the 12 Planets.

The first planet they travel to is Earth. All they know is that Earth was colonized by the First Ones thousands of years ago—just like Schyllus was—but otherwise they know nothing about it.

What happens when 196,418 Travelers from Schyllus arrive on an unsuspecting and unprepared Earth? The Travelers are peaceful explorers, yet their arrival results in billions of human deaths from the chaos that ensues. Will their arrival on Earth be the demise of the human race?

Or will mankind join the Travelers in expeditions to the other planets—Thijar, Hyperios, Kikrit, Freytus, Acfarr, Vaagon, Minyos, Ozkozania, Dagomere, and Pluvikerr. These planets were all colonized by the First Ones thousands of years ago, but have evolved into vastly different civilizations.

And unbeknownst to the humanoids inhabiting the 12 Planets, a malevolent entity known as Torajii has vowed to exterminate all humanoids from the universe.

BOOK 2

Taking advantage of the worldwide Blackout, the Travelers from the planet Schyllus unite the nations of Earth into a single supernation called Pangaea, governed by the World Council. Travelers dominate the World Council, and have surreptitiously placed Travelers in strategic positions in the government, military, and society. But are the Traveler’s intentions for Earth good or evil?

Simultaneously, the world’s elite have established themselves in 144 utopian cities scattered throughout the globe, declaring their independence from Pangaea in utter defiance of the World Council. Civil war breaks out. But the 144 are protected by private armies armed with sophisticated weapons, including nuclear electromagnetic pulse weapons and anti-nanobot defenses.

Now on the planet Schyllus, Christiaan is deeply concerned about the Traveler’s duplicitous actions on Earth. But before he can intervene, he is given a rare Eternity Orb by the Being, who sends him to distant planets on a mission to unite the 12 Planets into a mighty Intergalactic Empire.

On his otherworldly journeys, Christiaan encounters the mysterious Philosopher, a civilization trapped in a virtual world controlled by a devious A.I., and a planet controlled by the godlike Machine.

All the while, the malevolent Torajii—a sentient virus created when he was blasted with gamma-rays and other high-energy radiation in the aftermath of a supernova—continues to enact his plan to exterminate every humanoid in the universe.

BOOK 3

The adventures of Christiaan, Daniel, and Hannah continue on the planet Hyperios. It’s the third planet among the 12 Planets the three Tellurians have visited. It doesn’t go well. They endure crisis after crisis. When Christiaan mysteriously vanishes while trying to return to Schyllus, Daniel goes in search of him, leaving Hannah all alone on Hyperios—for decades—just as things go from bad to apocalyptic.

Daniel eventually finds his dad in a strange solar system in the unknown part of the universe called Eternity, where phantasmal laws prevail. There, they encounter a mysterious race of humans called the Vandekirians who hold answers to the origin and true purpose of the 12 Planets.

Meanwhile, Torajii births new enemies more powerful than himself . . . enemies who lust to make the 12 Planets their playthings.
