About this series
The human species is evolving. The first of the successors to the old species have had to make some hard choices, and trouble between the old and the new is coming.
What will the successors choose to do when threats arise from more than one direction?
There’s the issue of the old alien enemy that wants to destroy them and Earth. The only hope of eliminating that menace lies with Bob, who lives on Pond, a world in a different dimension.
Some are trying to eliminate them, not understanding that this won’t stop the genetic changes in humans that began thousands of years ago. Others want to use them for their own purposes, and with their families being threatened, they have to ensure their safety.
Meanwhile, as more come forward, fear and prejudice against them run high, so the first successors work to find all the new humans and initiate the psychic abilities in them that will offer some protection.
It’s a tough job for these peace-loving teenagers, but they don’t have a choice. If they don’t succeed, in a few generations, all Homo sapiens, including the new psychic variety, will be extinct.

- Dichotomy
Evelyn, Connor, and Valerie, friends bound together by a psychic connection since before they were born, mourn the loss of their friend and soulmate, Shane. They are left with the task of telling his parents that he won’t be coming home. They also have to tell them that Anotrothe, the imaginary friend from their childhood, was not make-believe and is the reason Shane is gone. It isn’t easy - or believable. Facing skepticism of their tale of being the next step in the evolution of the human race, they reveal the differences that prove it. Then, the world learns of them and goes into an uproar. Living a normal life doesn’t appear to be possible. To further complicate matters, others like themselves begin appearing and they too aren't welcome. The first of the successors find themselves trying to effect rescues even while they are facing ostracism. Meanwhile, on a world of pale yellow skies, a lone figure with an empty mind wanders across a featureless plain. Is he a savior - or a monster? Or could he be both?
- Anotrothe
Shane, Evelyn, Connor, and Valerie. Non-siblings bound together since conception by a connection only they have. They also share an invisible friend. But not all invisible friends are necessarily imaginary. Consider Anotrothe. Friend and gentle guardian with powerful psychic abilities, he is invisible to everyone except them until they are twelve, when he appears and becomes a teacher at their school. One day, he tells them that the connection they share gives them the capacity to learn things no other humans can, and promises to teach them when they are old enough to learn. When they are eighteen and bound for college, he informs them that it’s crucial they begin their lessons soon because malignant forces are on the way to destroy their world and they must use their abilities to help him save Earth. He becomes their teacher, using a method that is unusual. One could even call it unorthodox. It is one that dictates he become much more than simply an instructor. Then, he informs them that they are the result of a biological experiment and their world becomes filled with mounting tensions intermingled with rising doubts. Are they what he says they are, and is he the benevolent benefactor he appears to be?
