Author Vincent Havelund's new epic work of fiction explores how Earth's development has been intertwined with that of a distant planet called Orbsey. It all begins in the year 1 and races to its conclusion in the twenty-fourth century. As the people of Earth looked to the heavens in search of others, the people of Orbsey were doing more than just looking; they were planning. In this first book of the series, the adventure begins when two cultures, two peoples, two worlds meet at long last. Thanks to their mastery of fourth-dimensional travel, explorers from Orbsey reach Earth-and neither planet will ever be the same. Humanity is still a young and developing race in the year 1. To the visitors, humanity is a barbaric and wild race. What must humanity think of their new guests? In rural China, a bright, ambitious young girl by the name of Sun Li I dreams of a life of fulfillment and even love. But when she begins to dream of a long life-of 285 years-on a distant planet, she could never had imagined that what appeared to be a dream was actually memories of a real life lived on Orbsey. Sun Li is not alone. She is one of countless humans who would be integrated into Orbsien society over the centuries; while many chose to stay, some did return to Earth. This is their story and the first installment of "The Star Series."
There are many people living on Earth who have come from a distant planet called Orbsey-and others who have come home. The price for the return trip was all memory of their time on Orbsey, but even their technology can't fully eradicate all memories. So many experience small glimpses of what could be a dream of their past lives on an alien world, but they are afraid to speak of them, for fear of being ridiculed. But the hidden burden of their experience cannot be denied. Stolen from Earth and forced to serve on Orbsey for at least five years, these lost children of humanity struggle to rebuild their lives upon their return to Mother Earth. Taken for research purposes, they were the subjects of Orbsien studies on the very human predilection for violence. But despite the methodology, the motives were noble: the scientists of Orbsey want to find the cure for violence. But two thousand years of observation and research have failed. Now, two Orbsien students have been given a grant to travel back in time to do a full-time study on Earth. These young aliens take human wives and settle into Earth culture. When they devise a plan to return to Orbsey with their wives, their plans become complicated by temporal issues: can these women from Earth's past adjust to life in its present-let alone the future on Orbsey? T hese students risk it all in the name of love-proving that some things are universal after all.

The story line is to look at earth as it was, and how it wll be several millenium in the future.
