JANUS IS A TWO-HEADED GOD by SUSANNE MARIE KNIGHT
|
SummaryYear: 2452. Sophia McLaren (Sam) has taken care of her
younger brother Martin, ever since they were orphaned. Mart
suffers from a medical condition that has no cure on planet
Earth. A chance to be healed comes his way when a traveler
from the fabled Galactic Core Coalition (GCC), located in
the Milky Way's center, tells Mart about a remedy for his
disease. The only catch is that he must travel to Xaspaar,
the GCC home planet, to obtain treatment. JorVaal 5 Lanquist, one of the leaders of the GCC on
Xaspaar, has enough on his mind with the latest crisis
facing the GCC: the inexplicable behavior of a rival member
race--the aggressive Uortzks. For some unknown reason, the
Uortzks are sabotaging their own sun, increasing its
chances to go supernova. This explosion, together with
another projected interstellar disaster--an evaporating
black hole-- will in the near future, endanger all life
forms in the galaxy. How is he going to find time to host
this female visitor from primitive Earth and her sickly
brother?
