SYNOPSIS:
At the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union, determined to win the Space Race at any cost, green lit a dangerously advanced mission. They sent a man farther into the cosmos than anyone has gone before or since. Lost in the stars, he encountered something unknown. Something that changed him.
Long thought lost & erased from the history books, he has suddenly returned, crash-landing in the Australian Outback. The few that have been able to reach him believe him to be a deity; one who turned the scorched desert into a lush oasis. They say he can bend matter, space, & even time to his will. Earth is about to meet a new god; and he's a communist.
How long can it be before the first confrontation between mankind and DIVINITY begins?
