Produktbeschreibung

Shonak SeriesWelcome to the planet Shonak and its amazing people. Shonak is an alternate Earth that exists at another vibration than we do, and as the series explains, there are six planetary levels of resonance in all. Earth is at the highest vibration and Shonak itself is at the bottom, or slowest vibration, which they call Prime. Having evolved on different worlds, Shonakians and Earthers (as they call us) are understandably different in every respect. Shonak is a completely benign planet, with no dangerous animals or insects or plants so they evolved as non-aggressive people. They are some three feet tall and weigh about seventeen pounds. They are all nearly identical with brown, cold-blooded hairless bodies, big heads, and enormous mental capacity. They live upwards of seventeen hundred years, have no gender, and reproduce by regurgitating an egg in their four hundredth year. Another can be produced in their seven hundredth year if the population numbers require it. They eat a single food tube a day and with no taste buds food has never been more than fuel. They live for a single purpose: to further their culture's technocratic existence and improve their quality of life. They have no money or commerce, no politics or government bureaucracy. They have no religion no aggression, no families, only Teams. Team and indeed social seniority is based solely on a person's age. The oldest person in any Team and in any group is automatically The Eldest and is the unquestioned leader with absolute authority. Book 2: It's About TimeIt's About Time sees the one thousand-forty-nine-year-old and semi-retired Shonakian Bon brought back into active service as the Eldest of two Grand Teams, a first for Shonak. He is tasked with finding out what happened to shift Earth 3210 years into its future with no such time shift on Shonak. One second, Plus-Five was in 940 BCE and the next it's known as Earth and is a spacefaring, highly advanced civilization in its Universally Accepted Year of 2270! Making this even more curious, not to mention unbelievable, is the fact that the millions of covert surveillance devices on Earth recorded every minute of these three thousand-plus years but no living Shonakian, many of whom are well over fifteen hundred years old, have any recollection of the most recent events now seen in their video record of Earth. Clearly, Earth has experienced an advance in time and Shonak has not. Bon is charged with answering the question, "What's up with that?" His quest to find that answer, and his mission to forge relationship with the newly modern Earth are challenges unfaced by any Shonakian throughout their three hundred millennia of advanced culture. But Bon is a rare and uniquely qualified member of the Shonakian monoculture - he has always been the odd man out, the out of the box thinker. Read how he introduces Earth to the existence of Shonak. Read how he examines the very essence of the elusive thing known as Time. Watch as he deals with the scandal and repercussions caused by Shonak's secret intrusive surveillance of Earth. Watch him as he ages into the leadership of his planet and experience his opening of two of the other planets among the six "cousins" that are the separate Earths.
