About this ebook

Uneek is a science fiction fantasy about an unlikely friendship between a fabricated star-like entity, Uneek, and a prehistoric apatosaurs, Thunder. It is a story of healing, adventure, and mystery set in a backdrop of the eternal cosmos.

Spawned from a distant nebula called Esoterica, Uneek is on a mission to planet Earth to ascertain why Earthlings are lagging behind in their evolution. Arriving on Earth, Uneek meets Thunder, a living, breathing survivor of the prehistoric Cretaceous Era, suspended in a space time warp for 66 million years. The friendship flourishes as a result of mutual need. Uneek needs Thunder’s knowledge and companionship, and Thunder needs Uneek’s help to recover from years of forced isolation. Confronted with a conundrum of mysterious and suspenseful situations, they meet various, whimsical characters during their travels, as they seek solutions to Thunder’s predicament.
Uneek explores the vital elements of true friendship, trust, patience, and love without compromising individuality or purpose. Uneek and Thunder’s interactions sparkle with humor, insightful revelations, and differences resolved through mutual understanding. The dynamic duo face seemingly insurmountable odds, as they traverse the countryside, outer space, and even time itself.
Beautifully illustrated by the author, Uneek will take minds of all ages on a thought-provoking journey that is suspensefully intriguing, questioning, and educational.

    I dedicate this book to my grandmother, Elsa Daudert, who always inspired me to reach for the stars. She taught me patience, love, consistency, and perseverance. An artist herself, she breathed the creative spirit into my soul, so I could develop the gifts God bestowed upon me at birth. Oma, as she was called, was the most influential and nurturing person in my life. I dedicate this book to you, because you dedicated yourself to me.

    Chapter 1

    Uneek’s Origin

    In the eternal vastness of infinity, there existed a gargantuan, gorgeous nebula, inconspicuously tucked away in the far reaches of outer space. Thousands of light years in diameter, the nebula was basically a recycling center of cosmic debris. It was an immense dynamic conglomeration of cosmic clouds of dust and gases. The clouds were made up of the leftover material of supernovae, explosions of dying stars, colliding galaxies, and discharges from jets of rotating accretion discs surrounding black holes.

    Powerful energy centers were dispersed throughout the nebula. These were the products of gravitational confluence of cool, cosmic dust and hot primal gases. As these massive energy centers grew denser and hotter, myriads of new stars and star clusters spewed forth like an enormous, pyrotechnic display. The beautiful, galactic garden spawned millions of stellar flowers which illuminated the entire nebula. Once expelled from their wombs, infant stars were held close by motherly gravitational pull so they could continue to grow and develop.

    Having existed for billions of years, this spectacular, luminous phenomenon was well established and was known as the Esoterica Nebula. Not only the home of countless stars, but it was also the home and birthplace of Uneek.

    Chapter 2

    Getting To Know Uneek

    Uneek was extraordinarily unique. He was one of a kind. Nothing in the universe was quite like him. He in turn realized that each life form, each microscopic organism, every galaxy and heavenly body was unique, as well as every rock, mountain, river, and ocean. Each had its own particular story of survival. Each manifested itself in a universe of continuous change, occupying its own place in space and time. You are unique as well.

    At birth, Uneek was simulated into a variable spark of energy, a star-like being. In some ways he was like a super intelligent humanoid inside a luminescent body. The capabilities and abilities of his mind had been forged from light, honed by millions of years of experience, learning, and development. He was acutely aware of his surroundings within the Esoterica Nebula as well as distant regions throughout the universe.

    He didn’t have a biological brain, but rather a highly active energy receptacle/ transmitter system. He could absorb and emit immense amounts of telepathic energy and data. His mind eventually developed into a flowing current of truth. He grew to know and understand the intricacies as well as the vastness of the perplexing universe with its natural laws. He learned the how, what, where, when, and why things were the way they are.

    His conception of emotions was beyond the realm of perception. It did not stem from a physiological expression of the mind or body. The revelations of truth that he experienced were spiritual in nature. He ascertained the underlying truth of emotions by discerning the quality and intensity of the light energy they emitted. Happiness was serenely bright and light. Love exuded the purest form of light energy, a bright white, illustriously vibrant. Dark emotions were very weak in light energy or were absolutely devoid of light altogether.

    This is how Uneek realized the emotions of other life forms, by seeing their energy levels which were revealed in an internal light energy spectrum. Slowly he had become aware that everything had its own unique energy field, even rocks and crystalline minerals, and you.

    Chapter 3

    Uneek’s Mission To Earth

    Uneek’s light energy glowed bright with enthusiasm, as he ventured out on his own for the first time. He had just left his home, Esoterica, and was embarking on an initial solo mission - a mission to Earth. He had studied the Milky Way Galaxy in depth and the Sun System in particular. He was especially intrigued by life on planet Earth and the turbulent history of its formation. His curiosity peaked at the inference that Earth served as a sort of way station for numerous cosmic space travelers. He would have to be cautious and remain undetectable as he approached the Milky Way. Due to the presence of dangerous life forms in this part of the galaxy, he did not want to draw attention to himself for his own safety.

    Further research indicated that numerous, highly advanced beings had been visiting Earth for a long time. Not all of them were benevolent beings, conducive to harmonic interstellar coexistence. Some were outright hostile and belligerent toward Earthlings as well as toward members of other intergalactic civilizations. They were unnatural, dark, and evil entities and could be deadly. Uneek needed not only to remain inconspicuous, but also, he didn’t wish to cause any disruption in Earth’s natural progression of life.

    Chapter 4

    On His Own

    Uneek was cruising quietly through the universe, traveling at an incredible velocity many times the speed of light. His highly advanced civilization had attained faster than light speed travel ability after millions of years of technological research and development. It was the envy of many, lesser advanced interstellar civilizations. Esotericans had discovered how to harness dark energies and many other obscure force fields that existed within the dynamics of the nebula.

    Uneek’s ultimate mission was to ascertain and assess the problems facing Earthlings in their spiritual evolution and technological progression. For reasons yet unknown, Earthlings were lagging behind in their natural growth as a species. Their advancement seemed to be thwarted by globally oppressive forces that were destroying the unity of the species. They were still using antiquated systems to generate energy even though more advanced, higher efficient forms of energy were well known. Catastrophic, natural and unnatural disasters were beginning to occur more frequently. By now, Earthlings should have already been integrated into intergalactic affairs, commerce, and advanced space exploration. Overall, Earth beings were a worthy and viable species, but something was wrong, and Uneek wanted to find out what it was.

    Uneek had been educated for many years in the overwhelming number of unique civilizations that existed in the multiverse and their individual stages of development. Uneek had finally reached a high level of proficiency and was now taking his first official vacation. He had been on many previous training excursions throughout his area of the universe, but they were always conducted by teaching staff with chaperones. He was finally on his first journey to outer space all by himself. Any further education would be by his own preference, no longer guided by the Esoterica Council’s teaching schedule. He was finally free to learn and explore as he wished. The future was his!

    Glowing warmly, Uneek was delighted to be alone at last. He glanced over at a beautiful burst of stars, emulating from the center of an awe-inspiring, reddish pink nebula. It was immersed in a massive, bluish purple gaseous haze. Blue and yellow stars shot out like fireworks from the centers of massive energy dynamos. He savored the visual beauty of space as he passed by its many glorious manifestations. In particular, he was astonished at the breathtaking views of spiral galaxies with their sparkling, twinkling star systems. Spectacular visions of new galaxies forming from colliding galaxies whizzed by. Multicolored bands of spiraling cosmic clouds exhibiting innumerable, suspended stars fascinated him. He marveled at the awesome display of nebulae, quasars, neutron stars, and supernovas. Creation was an unbelievably beautiful work of art! The austere vastness of endless space lay before him, and he was finally free and at peace. The glorious radiance of heavenly bodies and worlds was a wonderful contrast against great expanses of stark blackness. The panorama of beauty gave him euphoric sensations, and his light flickered excitedly. He could live here forever!

    Dimming with contentment, Uneek laid back and absorbed the beauty in his mind and spirit. How consoling it was just to be! At last, he was one with the universe!

    Chapter 5

    The Historical Archives of Earth

    Shooting through space by light years, Uneek engaged the archives of Earth history and its origins. He didn’t know why this knowledge pulled at his heart strings so strongly, but it drew his undivided attention. The story of Earth’s continuous struggles to evolve viable life forms was absolutely fascinating to him. He began streaming.

    Planet Earth had experienced tremendous global, geological changes in the past 5 billion years, as it took form and developed into the planet it was today. Most of the Earth’s formative years occurred during the Archean Eon which lasted 3.5 billion years.

    Primitive forms of life eventually came into being 2.5 billion years ago during the Proterozoic Era. Meteors, asteroids, and comets continuously pummeled the Earth, depositing bacteria into the primordial soup of prehistoric oceans and seas. Single-celled organisms began to grow, flourish, and proliferate.

    Life slowly continued evolving for 300 million years throughout the Paleozoic Era. The oceans filled up with a wide variety of marine life, both flora and fauna. Life seemed to be well on its way evolving into new species and plant phyla. Then, 252 million years ago in the latter stage of the Paleozoic Era, during the Permian period, a catastrophic disaster befell Earth. A huge off-planet comet, asteroid, or meteor collided with Earth. The impact caused molten magma to erupt from deep within Earth, breaching the unstable crust and mantle. It rose up from underground forming super volcanoes in what is now Siberia. This was the beginning of the end of most life - the Great Permian Extinction.

    An enormous cloud of volcanic ash, pulverized rock, and a toxic mixture of gases blasted up into the atmosphere, surrounding the entire planet. Volcanoes had expelled sulphuric dioxide, methane, carbon dioxide and numerous other toxic gases into the air. The ash cloud blocked the sunlight, vital for plant life and photosynthesis. A global winter followed which froze the planet. An ice age began.

    The oceans acidified killing 95% of all life that had evolved for millions of years. The few surviving life forms struggled on, eventually repopulating the world with new plant and animal life forms. This extinction event marked the end of the Paleozoic Era and the beginning of the Mesozoic Era.

    The Mesozoic Era consisted of 3 periods: the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. As the ice melted, carbon dioxide levels were restored. The resurgence of life slowly emerged in the tropical ecosystems of the Triassic Period. An abundance of vegetation grew back along with the evolution of primitive animal life forms. Marine life had literally crawled out of the oceans to live on land. Life had evolved from astral bacteria to fish, and eventually to land animals - insects, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Lizards evolved in time to become larger and larger reptiles, which eventually led to the Age of Dinosaurs. They reigned supreme throughout the Jurassic Period until the end of the Cretaceous Period 66 million years ago when another catastrophic disaster occurred.

    This time it came in the form of an enormous asteroid the size of a huge mountain. Traveling at approximately 40,000 miles per hour, it impacted Earth in the Gulf of Mexico. The massive impact shook the entire planet and caused Earth’s atmosphere to reach temperatures close to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. 75% of all life that had taken millions of years to evolve was destroyed. The 175-million-year reign of the dinosaurs literally went up in flames and smoke. This extinction event marked the end of the Cretaceous Period in the Mesozoic Era.

    Chapter 6

    The Dream

    Uneek abruptly stopped the stream of knowledge pouring forth from the archives. He had just experienced a strange sensation, a subliminal message. It toggled in his mind switching back and forth like a pendulum, pulling him from premonition to foreboding and back again. He couldn’t comprehend its significance, and the uneasy sensation eventually dissipated. His inner light stopped fluttering.

    Puzzled, he returned to the stream and went back over the feed. Once again, he felt the weird sensation at the exact point that told of the
