In another dimension called Creation, extraordinary beings live, love and work in a very humanlike way. Tasked to manage the billions of universes that populate space they use temporal technology and planetary drones to control every aspect of life on the blue planets. The story begins with a flashback where, at the White House, an alien waits to make first-contact with the President of the United States. But before the why is explained, we arrive in Creation and watch as Amy, a bright young graduate, takes up her position as an apprentice auditor. On her first assignment in the dusty, subterranean, vaults of the Grand Depository, she uncovers a catastrophic flaw in the design of a blue planet tagged 'Earth'. Convinced her discovery is no accident Amy reunites with Daniel, a once geeky fellow student, now a handsome technician and asks for his help to investigate the anomaly she has uncovered. As she starts to unravel the mystery, Amy believes the culprit is Anubis, the new Director of Auditing. As suspicion falls on him, Anubis, beset by revenge and a lust for power, escapes to Earth taking Daniel hostage. Disregarding a direct order, Amy secretly plans his rescue. The risk is enormous. The minutest error could leave her drifting in space forever. Suppressing her terror, she embarks on the perilous journey through space and time to liberate Daniel. As if from nowhere, the creationists appear in an English village and, by embedding themselves in human hosts, they hide in plain sight among the locals. The villagers could not imagine the power these aliens wield over their lives nor their plans for the human race. When the menacing scale of Anubis’ intentions for Earth become clear, Amy and Daniel race to warn the US President, triggering a worldwide battle to save the planet as they try and find a way back home to Creation. . . .
