And it has the power to reach through time and change one event that will alter the Kindred's reality forever... Vic is a cybernetic Kindred scout, sent only to hostile planets. He infiltrates the Oval Office but just as he is about to extend an offer from the Kindred to the people of Earth, his communications system breaks, rendering him mute. Labeled a mentally unstable threat, he is sent to St. Elizabeth's Mental Hospital. There he meets Torri, a beautiful curvy Earth female who makes him feel for the first time... Torri isn't crazy, no matter what her husband says. She is having visions of a huge black ship and an evil being called "The AllFather" who is coming to conquer and enslave the Earth. But now that she's locked away, no one will listen. No one until Vic comes and starts Dream Sharing with her, that is... Now the two of them are on the run. But will they get the Mother Ship to Earth in time to stop the Scourge from overrunning the planet? Or will the Eye of Ten'gu fulfill its evil plan and change the Kindred's future timeline forever?
