    About this ebook

    As the result of an accident aboard their ship, Xacs Omathe, a California avocado grower, is inadvertently abducted by an alien race which has cultivated life in our galaxy and the greater universe for billions of years. He lives and travels with them for nearly three centuries, experiencing what the future may hold for the Human race.
    The creation of all life on Earth was accomplished by the Aanbollth, an extraterrestrial race dedicated to the improvement and continued development of life in the Universe. They are the ultimate engineers of all organisms, great and small, on this beautiful planet known, in part, as M37CXA19B24R3.
    The history of Earth and many other worlds is chronicled in the journals of Zaleem Aah Ju Amaharah Ees, Earth’s gardener until his untimely death at the relatively young age of 48,373 Earth years.
    On the ship, Oelphia creates a notebook-type computer containing all the information available on Earth at the time of Xacs’s abduction. The Omac, as he names it, becomes his primary source of entertainment and mental stimulation. Later, on Aanbol, a translator program is added to the Omac to convert mutual telepathic communications.
    In Part 4, Xacs finds out that his work for the Albatross accident committee is being used by guilty parties to claim it was unlawful and flawed for a variety of reasons. He’s asked to demonstrate his technique for a magistrate’s assistant and a senior investigator by interviewing a murder victim.
    Eventually the magistrate invites Xacs and Shar to Cortesa to meet with her in person where he conducts another interview in the spirit world. He helps locate a murderer, and finds out that Poendal, a top security official, has been murdered. After sorting out who killed him and other matters, the magistrate orders Poendal to be regenerated.
    Oelphia returns from her space mission with a mate who wants her to join the Cultivation Group that spends many tens of cycles on a single planet adding species. She seems uncertain about the adventure.
    Just when Xacs has all but given up hope for the Lammeriate project, the Symphonia architects ask him to revise his proposal to include more interesting bridges in his design. Soon he’s busy building a dragon with a tail that acts as a bridge to a restaurant seemingly balanced on back of the dragon.
    With the magistrate’s encouragement, the Genetics Group designs and implants a version of his Omac’s along with sensors that allow him to communicate more efficiently with the living and the dead. The new device, which he controls by thought, is referred to as the implanted Omac... the Imac.

    Tommy Masek

    In his early career, Tommy worked as an engineer and scientist, having degrees from the University of Colorado, and MIT. He worked for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Rockwell International, and Hughes Research Laboratories, with a primary focus on ion propulsion for spacecraft. In later years, he manufactured coal stoker heating equipment. The Journals of Zaleem Series will be six novels in the science fiction genre. In Part 1, Xacs Omathe is abducted by an alien race and must deal with survival on an alien planet. Eventually, after nearly three centuries of living and traveling with the Aanbollth race, he will be returned to Earth to publish his memoirs before his death. Tommy has also written The Alexander Affair, The Quixote Files, The Whistler Agenda, and The Heiress and the Black Monk. The last three of these novels follow political reporter Martin Cosgrove as he unravels mysteries and dodges bullets. Tommy has been married to his high school sweetheart, Claudia, since 1962. They reside in Oxnard, California, with their Yorkie dependents, Oscar and Theo.
