Edición en Inglés
As the result of an accident aboard their ship, Xacs Omathe, a California avocado grower, is inadvertently abducted by an alien race which has cultivated life in our galaxy and the greater universe for billions of years. He lives and travels with them for nearly three centuries, experiencing what the future may hold for the Human race.
The creation of all life on Earth was accomplished by the Aanbollth, an extraterrestrial race dedicated to the improvement and continued development of life in the Universe. They are the ultimate engineers of all organisms, great and small, on this beautiful planet known, in part, as M37CXA19B24R3.
Sixteen of the seventeen crewmembers aboard the ship are killed immediately, and Zaleem, the Captain, dies five days later. A moment before his death, Zaleem slips an amulet, his recorder, into Xacs's hand, saying it will provide him with safe passage.
An Aanbollth female, Oelphia, for short, is the only other long-term survivor of the accident. She becomes Xacs's life-long mentor, supporting him initially through genetic modifications and rehab, and later by finding him a job and a mate.
In Part 8, Xacs is called upon to help Arlyne investigate missing persons, in what might be called cold cases. As judged by the number of cycles in the past, these cases were frozen solid. They find that many deaths were due to two serial killers who cleverly prevented the deaths from being reported.
A renovation of the main government building in Cortesa allows him to participate in painting murals with his two unofficial protégés, Jenniphor and Luizza. Animosity toward him comes to the fore when a council member sets his portable shop on fire, and sends an assassin after him.
Expecting that his career and life are near an end, after spending nearly three life times on Aanbol, Xacs focuses on making art pieces for his mates and friends. The magistrate, Adrianna, has different plans for him, but he is returned to Earth in a somewhat unexpected manner.
