Tom, Two-Dan $mith (sic) thought his life couldn't get any worse, and then a gorgeous woman turns up at his door and drags him off on a whirlwind quest to sort out the organisation responsible for all the troubles in the galaxy. Sadly, what glitters is nothing more than polished coal. His guide has another agenda; he is cannon-fodder. Oblivious and taken in by her charms, he follows her schemes, surviving by sheer luck and circumstance only as he meets a bizarre collection of aliens, and then the girl of his dreams. What awaits him at the very end of Time itself is a confluence of unimaginable universes and the controller of all Time and Space. His existence is pivotal to the combined multiverse and this is only the beginning of a continued flight from the Cyclic Imperative, the law which states that everyone should return to their origins in Time and Space. For his new love, he refuses to, and the entire universe is now out to get him.
