An astounding 21st century sci-fi adventure classic, with 2 tales of the
discovery of alien artifacts, leading to voyages beyond the boundaries
of space and time, with the characters marooned and racing to escape. Scientists
enter a miniature black hole and travel out beyond the universe, and a
spacecraft voyages to the far reaches of the cosmos, to a gateway, where
it voyages beyond space and time.
The 1st story, based at the
end of the 21st century, explores the discovery of a pulsating alien
sphere United Nations astronauts/scientists stumble upon while making
scheduled explorations of unexplored regions of Mars, and the
investigation of it and a miniature black hole that it holds in its
confines in a United Nations laboratory. Can they determine that the
alien sphere is left by an ancient race of aliens that explored this
universe, and these galaxies, thousands of years ago? Within the opened alien sphere, it magically suspends gleams of light, motionlessly in mid-air. A
clock held on a cable, of translucent material, has its precision
digital numbers frozen in fuzzy multidimensional forms (in a suspended
cluster of partially transparent layers), as it is edged into the
miniature black hole, creating spectacular optical effects, making it
distort in twisted forms. The scientists explore it, with what they have, but will they determine what the alien artifact is for? In
the 2nd story a small voyager takes explorers through new mind-bending
universes, universe after universe, as it accelerates beyond anything
experienced before, with them endeavoring to flee, with no knowledge of
where it is going or if they will survive. It illustrates them being
imprisoned aboard the mode of alien space vehicle and their escalating
encounters with mind-bending wonders of space and time. With an
encounter with an entity with the dimensions of a small galaxy, formed
out of energy left from the big bang. Their only way to survive and
escape its confines is the use of a matter transferor, created by a
transcendent/entity, which has a peculiar and deplorable ability to
enter them into universes and put them on mind-bending destinations.
