Additional information
by Maurice James Blair (Author)
The Transcendentals emerge at the dawn of creation from primordial fission. Able to transmute the laws of science, their tensions, conflicts, and resolutions determine within many ranges much of what those scientific laws are or will be. Their conflicts remain within reasonable ranges for eons, until one of them feels trapped in labyrinthine patterns. Many, including Charr Naerroan and Jeremy M. Titanus, unleash a campaign of accelerating the deaths of universes, then set their sights on seeking to annihilate entire multiverses.
Many others, including Yadier Horowitz, Dimetrioskys Elbankovic (a.k.a. any of several variations, e.g., Dimetrioskis, Elbancovic, and Dimetriosys), seek to preserve the lives of multitudes of individuals and multitudes of universes.
A third side-a swing side-also emerges.
Human Beings, Gray Extraterrestrials, and others deal with mayhem poised to lead toward apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic showdowns.
An intuitive reading of this and other works by the same author can conceptualize this novel as culminating any of several variations of what some might wish to call, "The Dimetrodons, Things, and Transcendentals Trilogy."
(Note: Paperback original publication of this critical edition: six months after hardcover original publication of this critical edition.)
This critical edition features three bonus nonfiction pages that the original novel which it extends had lacked, providing additional context.
