Death Spiral: Is Earth Ready to Join the Cosmic Community?

The thing Jeremiah Dodge remembers most about his childhood is the dreams about monsters with big, black, almond-shaped eyes. Maybe young Jeremiah had an active imagination, but, then again, maybe not.

As an adult, the dreams intensify and he often wonders if his dreams weren't dreams at all, but buried memories. He begins hearing a female voice in his dreams, telling him that she is coming for him. The sudden appearance of Mae-Rus, an alien from the planet Aurelia, and her warning of impending planetary doom, shock Jeremiah into accepting his dreams as reality.

According to this alien, the human race is in a death spiral, only one generation away from self-destruction. She recruits Jeremiah to become her messenger, announcing the opportunity to join the cosmic community. Reluctantly, he accepts the mission, only to find himself in the middle of a cover-up of galactic proportions. Can he help change the course of Earth's future, or will humanity sadly bring about its own tragic end?
