Set in the near future where advanced technology now exists, this story is all about the interrelationship between several species such as humans, Jadderbadians, and trees horses also referred to as Grovians. Humans, Jadderbadians, species from the Planet Jadderbad, and tree horses live on Earth. This relationship led to several events due to the interactions especially between the humans and Jadderbadians. Several mishaps and conflicts ensued, but yet all kinds of species had to work together to ensure that the Earth still remains and isn't destroyed as a result of rash actions and decisions. Working together to achieve this common goal, AI characters Rudy and Nessie played a notable role.

Opinion: 

R. Gary Raham's writing style is quite unique and cool in the sense that the book was written with the first chapter being a conversation between two personalities giving an impression of a play. It even had interludes between the chapters. The interludes made it seem like the book is made up of stories of different characters being told by AI characters like Nessie.  I like the fact that the characters were introduced to us at the start of the book. This aided understanding and contributed to the flow of the story. The fact that several of the characters perspectives or points of view made up this book makes it unique and interesting as it gives room for readers to connect the dots. It was a nice read even though a few portions were a bit complex to easily grab and relate to. This book is recommended to adventure lovers and  lovers of science and advanced technology.  Have a lovely read as this book is a fascinating one!
