Amero wakes from an eerily familiar dream in an unfamiliar bed.

Within hours, he is forced onto an experimental craft and jettisoned across the galaxy alongside a mysterious, potentially homicidal man named Hann.

Finding themselves in a strange yet familiar spacetime, the men are told by suspicious entities to hunt for Points, strange objects no larger than one's thumb, which are spread across the cosmos by unknown means.

The purpose of the hunt is unknown. The purpose of the Points is unknown.

All Amero wants is to return to his dead-end life. All Hann wants is to hunt down and destroy those responsible for his predicament.

It will take a journey to the end of time itself and beyond the boundaries of every universe to know the truth--to witness the light behind the veil...for better or worse.

"ES Fein has written a space opera adventure that weaves traditional science fiction, Eastern Philosophy, questions about who we really are, God and the cosmos in a very enjoyable way.

Picture a dystopian future where Earth is dominated by a fanatical religious government called the New Covenant. Being a part of the LGBTQIA+ community is a crime punishable by death. You are one of two men who's names were sent in a transmission from the cosmos needed for a mission to travel by a new technology to another star system. You are trapped in a small space ship with a man that hates you on what feels like an asinine scavenger hunt for points, or encrypted shards that are needed to further explore the star systems and upgrade your ship for the next decade. No matter how close your trajectory takes you towards Earth, you can never quite reach it. You could not be more different from your partner. One is a famed gay astronaut, only allowed to live because of his flying talents and one is a lab scientist with a dark secrets, who appears to be going mad. You very well may be the last people in the universe trying to uncover who made the machines and what is the point of all the points?

I would call this a more intellectual read. You don't need to be a physicist or physics professor to understand it, but I did find myself going back to re-read explanations a few times over to make sure I was following along. For point of reference, I have never taken a physics class. Fein has a beautiful use of language and descriptions throughout the novel and you get a true sense of why the characters are the way they are. This novel is in true dystopian form as well. The New Covenant are brutal and there are descriptions of violence against a number of characters that may be triggering for some." - Amazon Review
