"The Alterran Legacy" tells an epic story that spans two worlds, hundreds of years, multiple dimensions, and explores the intertwining histories of two races (the Alterrans and humanity) both facing the threat of extinction. But while the story is large-scale and dramatic (involving planetary warfare, cataclysmic events, political intrigue, sci-fi technology, aliens mistaken as gods, etc...), at its core it is actually an intimate character-driven tale centering first & foremost on the love story which unfolds between EnLil, successor to the throne of Alterra, and the beautiful Alana, a human Atlantean acolyte priestess who was refugeed as a child in a tribe of hunter-gatherers when her homeland disappeared into the ocean.

What begins as an exploratory and scientific expedition for the Alterrans, turns into a struggle for survival when catastrophes on both Earth and Alterra result in the aliens becoming temporarily stranded on our planet. This is the initial catalyst for a chain of events that ultimately will result in wars on both worlds, the creation of ancient Sumer and Egypt, and a love story that will transform the stoic & severe young Prince of Alterra into a much more nuanced and emotional leader. In parallel, it is also the tale of a young human female from a hunter-gatherer tribe, evolving into a goddess who will change the history of her entire world.

Because of the parallel & interacting storylines between early humans and Alterrans, The Alterran Legacy is a unique example of a series where the action and storylines can shift in an instant from a tribe of humans hunting a mastodon, to a clash of spaceships in hyper-drive. The story seamlessly blends the mystical with the scientific, the historical with the personal, to arrive at a story about aliens which at its core is fundamentally human, and ultimately centers on the themes of bravery, loyalty, love, morality, societal structures, and the eternal exploration of the great unknown.
