For nearly fourteen billion years, the Triple C had established conditions to support the development of intelligent life on countless worlds throughout the universe. Whenever life did arise, the Triple C also meticulously monitored, and in a few cases aided its evolutionary progression. The hope of these experiments was to guarantee a fully sustainable sentient race that would endure and prosper. Tragically, all the efforts failed! The Triple C's last hope rests with a species which calls itself "human" and lives on the third planet in its local star system. This final experiment's success will rest on the shoulders of thirteen humans including a former high school teacher named Jason Belvins. However, Belvins is searching for his own answers to life, death, and surviving the twenty first century. About the Author B.G.
