Social misfits John Frankel and his girlfriend Genevieve Walters find a mysterious book of runes in their local bookstore. The book has no author, no ISBN, and no title. The pages are made from an indestructible substance and have etchings that send a reader's consciousness to the stars.
John translates the symbols with the help of Dr. Michael Walters, Genevieve's reclusive but brilliant father. The book describes a powerful set of mental protocols that activates the energy field around the body, called by the ancient Egyptians the MerKaBa.
John and Genevieve learn that this energy field can carry a human being's consciousness to the stars, and beyond.
Using the technique John and Genevieve discover a research station at the end of the universe. There, they learn that deep withing the fabric of the cosmos,the completion of a 15 billion year cycle is imminent.
Not even the greatest minds in the Twelve Galaxies know the answers.
As the earth convulses in the chaos at the end of the Great Cycle, the Twelve Galaxies fight a race against certain death. The key lies within the eons-old secrets contained in the mysterious book.
