There are laws older than galaxies.There are powers beyond comprehension.And then there is Tom.Dragged into an interdimensional conspiracy by a woman with suspiciously perfect hair, Tom learns that the "organisation responsible for all the troubles in the galaxy" is both more terrifying and significantly more bureaucratic than advertised.He is not the chosen one.He is the chosen one's expendable plus-one.As the Cyclic Imperative tightens its metaphysical grip — demanding that all beings return to their point of origin — Tom commits the ultimate cosmic crime: noncompliance.From sentient gas clouds with abandonment issues to immortal beings who require appointment bookings, Tom ricochets toward the End of Time, where a revelation awaits that will shatter reality.Or at least dent it severely.Because when the universe tells you to go back where you came from, sometimes the only sensible response is:"No."
