✦ Synopsis

1499 A.D. Thomas Ryder is a medieval gamekeeper with a lot on his mind. Where does he belong in the world of Nature? Will he ever know a lasting peace of mind?

His regular life protecting the Royal hunting forest of Alice Holt is turned upside down when he is abducted by alien pirates. He is taken to the hyper-technology planet of Heyre and trained by superior beings to be their Great King against an encroaching, undefeated destroyer of worlds.

As his knowledge grows beyond that of any human who has ever lived, his inner world becomes increasingly chaotic under the strain of the planet’s reality-bending technologies of genetic engineering, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence. Inferior to those around him, he is feted as their savior by deed of his mysterious connection to a supernatural creature whose influence points to an even greater war?

Can one man save the world? Is a lasting peace of mind possible?

Will Thomas Ryder survive the Great War of mortals to play his part in the ultimate confrontation?
