When Oliver rescues Pierre, a small puppy, he has no inkling that
this small act of kindness will trigger the start of a great cosmic
drama. For far out in space, higher powers are about to assess
human dominance on planet Earth. Oliver unexpectedly finds himself
as the chosen representative of humanity at the upcoming cosmic
enquiry that will judge humans against artificial Intelligence. To
gather his evidence he sets off, with Pierre in tow, transiting
first to the Shadow-side (Earth's twin) to meet Lord Sebastian - an
advocate for humanity - and Galactic controller Ovoid - who is most
certainly not. Encounters with angry centaurs, a Were-cat, a
trans-avian falcon and a shrub spirit are only some of the unusual
characters he encounters, as he moves ever closer to the final
countdown... The Royal Road to the Stars is the story of a man
facing a task chosen for him - to undertake the greatest earthly
journey ever made, with the future of humanity at stake.
