Visitors
Synopsis
Timeshapers Rigg, Umbo, and Param face a dire challenge: prevent the Visitors from destroying the planet Garden, their eleven-thousand-year-old colony world. With previous attempts failing and the motive behind Earth's aggression unknown, Rigg must uncover the Visitors' fears on Garden while his duplicate, Noxon, travels back to Earth to alter the future. Both missions rely on untrustworthy allies, as Umbo strives to protect loved ones without disrupting history, and Param battles her tyrannical mother. Ultimately, their efforts may force a devastating choice between human life on Earth and on Garden.
