Conrad Viscous and Knowlton Cabbage are the biggest sci-fi geeks ever. They even dream of space battles, until the day aliens actually start showing up in real life! The space invaders are after a secret from Conrad's past life that could mean the end of the world as we know it, and the answer to stopping them lies deep within Conrad's memories.

Sci-fi geeks of all ages will enjoy seeing author Timothy Carter pay homage to classic space operas as Conrad and Knowlton draw life lessons from their favourite series Infinite Destiny and Infinite Destiny: The New Fate. Carter also examines the ideas of karma and reincarnation with an interesting message about self-knowledge and identity. Though our hero must face the consequences of the behaviour of his previous incarnation Hestar, he realizes that he is now Conrad and must be true to his new self. A humorous and thought-provoking novel that will leave readers hoping for a sequel.
