Riassunto
Jimmy goes on an extraordinary adventure in time and space.
He follows the magnificent Mister Magic, an enigmatic genius, who’s inventions seem to defy any logic. And as his name suggests, the eccentric Mister Magic often dresses up either as a magician or a wizard to add a little showmanship into the mix.
Hunted by brutal clan of mercenaries, Mister Magic presents Jimmy with a special quest. A task that only Jimmy can handle, Mister Magic assures, and a task that is vital to the existence of the universe.
Poor Jimmy must endure many horrible events to complete his quest. He gets a taste of the essence of space time itself, as reality, life and death gets defined and redefined. It’s hard for Jimmy to stay on track, to stay loyal and to stay alive.
In this short novel, you are introduced to a massive off-beat universe, set in the far future. This is a self-containing story but it’s also meant as a prelude to Space Time Messiah, a novel that centers around how the universe came into existence and how future people and organizations manipulate and toy with it. Where the big bang theory gives up, Mister Magic steps in and conjures up new clever and sinister ways to bypass the laws of nature to explain and control the existence of mankind.
As a recap, this novel explains more about Jimmy, the horrific Charms and how a society of Emperors govern the part of the universe known as the empire.
We also get to meet Mister Magic when he is at the top of his game, plus his lover; Goggle.
Set 9.000 years in the future, this is space opera at its best: for every question asked, you get two answers. You will see an amazingly detailed and coherent world come to exist as you read along. Except a few leaps of faith, the technology in this book is based on modern string theory. The most significant made up-science I use is that mankind has discovered a method to use and manipulate three of the eleven dimensions, string theory gives us. With the right technology and knowledge, you can move in these dimensions and translate in and out of normal space. Among other things, this allows for space travel between different stars and planets as distances when traveling in a translated state are very different from the physical distances. This novel takes place in an area known as the Empire. The Empire is a collection of about a thousand star systems that are located near to each other. That is near in translated space. In physical distance the star systems are located throughout our whole galaxy, The Milky Way.
Jimmy is a small human in the philosophy of Cosmicism, developed by H. P. Lovecraft. Mister Magic is the opposite: a man who aspires to be a god.
