What if there was a world where man no longer reigned and evolution ran backwards? There is such a world, and it's closer than you think. Shipwrecked on planet Niburu, a disgraced fighter pilot turned Bounty Hunter, Commander Zacary Ryker, reluctantly leads a band of human castaways and their genetically engineered Chimera mercenaries as they are hunted by a brutal race of dimetrodons. When Commander Ryker discovers an assassin that murdered his family is among the passengers and has thrown in with the dimetrodons, he’s torn between his thirst for revenge and avoiding extermination. Fighting to survive, his crew stumbles upon an ancient time portal and their destiny becomes intertwined with the dangerous liaison of a Shakespeare quoting Chimera, a teenage femme fatale and her telepathic wolf-dog shaman as they are drawn into an alternate reality where the law of evolution has run astray. Little do they know that they are about to be drawn into a larger struggle, a struggle beyond their universe, an epic battle… for the Multiverse.
