Jerome David Anderson has believed in his special destiny for several years. Ever since he joined the project at the age of fifteen, he has been preparing for a dangerous mission.

Jerome may be humankind's last hope. The sun is growing more and more unstable with each passing day. Humanity has fled to bunkers deep underground to escape the radiation.

While everyone else is adjusting to life in subterranean caverns, Jerome still looks up at the stars. It's where he will be traveling on a desperate voyage. Somewhere out there, there may be intergalactic civilizations that can help Earth. Jerome just has to find them.

Jerome knows his mission is critical, but he's heartbroken at leaving his lovely friend and caretaker, Katie Dawson, behind. Then, Jerome's mentor, Professor Massey, reveals a shocking secret about Jerome's upcoming journey. This secret will lead to a race through time itself.

In this young adult adventure, author Richard W. Chamberlain uses the experiences of Jerome and his friends to explore time, relativity, cosmology, and other scientific concepts. Jerome will soon learn that the universe is a dangerous place and only the brave will survive.
