Journey

Having just received the worst news possible, questioning God, Jack Traquair has a spiritual visitation. At his cottage pondering life's big questions under the stars, he is hoisted into incandescent light. Encountering an otherworldly apparition who offers answers, Jack is unsure whether Turen is the answer to his prayers, a hallucination, or worse.

Turen whisks Jack away on a Dickensian journey through humanity's defining moments in search of enlightenment. But the Visitor has a hidden agenda. He knows that sentience born of stardust does not long survive the cosmos or itself; his species is the only one to endure. Turen does not want to watch another promising species fail, but since contact is strictly forbidden, he seeks to judge not only our worthiness, but our readiness before defying his Community.

If Jack can pass the test, Turen will risk all to teach humanity how to surmount the Nine Threats to Sentience, answer the Six Questions of God, transcend the Three Awakenings of Being, and set foot on the One Path to Destiny.

In Journey from Stardust, Turen is a spiritual tour guide for those who seek modern meaning. The book is a novel recipe for inspiration with a pinch of sci-fi that reaches out across the cosmos to bridge the gap between reason and revelation. But while it stands on its own as exciting fiction, it is the opening salvo of the PROPHETURE trilogy.

In the sequel, Path to Destiny, Turen returns to throw a spiritual lifeline to a troubled world. The trilogy culminates in the climatic encounter with Turen's species and confrontation of the Ultimate Threat.
