On an innocuous Tuesday morning, engineer Dylan Bruce arrives at work and finds himself plunged into an adventure that flings him across the universe. Merdal, an alien thought dead and now returned from eons trapped in the fourteenth dimension, craves the power to twist the fabric of time and destroy reality. With interstellar allies Freddie, the multidimensional being with shape-shifting flippers, and Urbor, the cat-like captain of the space vessel Zafago, Dylan must embark on a mission to defeat Merdal and save the universe. With Merdal and his henchmen, the Galderinx, at his heels, Dylan and his friends race across vast expanses of space to piece together the puzzle that will overcome Merdal’s ancient sorcery. Through it all, the critical element at the core of Dylan’s quest remains a black cube – a fabled artifact known as the Holitaph.
