'Time travelling 2.5 million years into the Andromeda Galaxy's past to investigate why there’s a record of them having been there, the Stellar Flash's alien crew's first contact is with a creature so powerful that it has taken control of the entire galaxy by thought alone.

'With most of the crew unconscious, and the ship's A.I. offline, Captain Jonathan Hogart is in a race against time to defeat the plant-planet, save the galaxy, and find a way to return to 2133.

'If the Floran space military don't get in the way.

'But another force is attempting to take control, to use the power of the creature from the past to take over the Milky Way Galaxy in the present. And, for this, Hogart has no defense.

'How is the creature controlling an entire galaxy?

'Who has the technology to transmit this power to the present?

'And will the Stellar Flash crew and the Space Station team be able to save both galaxies from the alien threat?'
