Produktbeschreibung

A curious time shift takes Bon and his planet, Shonak, on an expedition into the nature of Time itself. It also sets the stage for open interaction between Shonak and Earth, which until the "shift" was the Earth of 1000 BCE. Suddenly, inexplicably, Earth was thrust forward in time by 3210 years. Now a modern, technical world, Shonak can finally relate to the people and can have an open relationship with them. While the time shift on Earth was indisputable, nothing of the sort happened on Shonak. Strangely enough though, Shonak's surveillance of Earth captured every moment of those "new" 3210 years, while no one on Shonak had any memory of these new years. "Impossible" they all say!

This book takes you through more than six hundred years in the life of Gold Bon, as he tackles the issue of the time shift, Shonak's new relationship with Earth, the maintenance of their vast, secret infotainment collection apparatus on Earth, an alien space incursion, the discovery of intelligent life on another of their sister planets, the fielding of gunships in space with Earth gunners, and the things Shonak does to improve life on Earth.

And at the end of it all you might say it was about Time.
