When you’re a rocket ship captain, you learn to expect the unexpected. A routine charting mission can turn into the discovery of a sentient wormhole. A Hedgmonian diplomat may possess your first officer and then try to assassinate you. The Queen of Ridgimon IX may take you as her concubine and impregnate you with her seed. But still … when you’re suddenly ordered to the fleet admiral’s office twenty-four hours before you’re due to punch, it’s enough to give even the most seasoned captain pause. The Federacy doesn’t make hasty decisions, but they do give orders with little to no warning. Orders that can turn your life upside down, back to front, or—literally—inside out. My name is Patrick Starson. I used to be a rocket ship captain. And this is my story.

This is the first book in the Jimmy Starlight and the Galactic Crystal saga. It contains a story about a twelve-year old boy, Jimmy Starlight, who lives on Earth in a make-believe world, not of wizards and dragons, but of multiple dimensions and multiple universes, aliens, virtual-reality time travel, space portals and vortexes, anti-gravity technologies, and Celestial Guardians. The boy has a paternal connection to Planet Atlantis, located in another dimension in our solar system, and he is the subject of an Atlantean prophecy that is being fulfilled in this book and others about the Jimmy Starlight saga. This prophecy holds that a boy of Atlantean and Earthen descent will lead the Atlanteans to victory over their archenemy, the VARS, in the first quarter of the 21st century. It also predicts he will recover a long-lost Galactic Crystal and use it to overcome this enemy, and this victory will transform Planet Earth and bring it universal peace and harmony. After this transformation, this boy will lead the people from Atlantis and Earth jointly into the new frontier in the far reaches of the universe.
