THE GENESIS CUBE

For eons, two titanic star empires waged war across the Orion Cygnus Rift for control of the ultimate alien relic: the Genesis Core. When the flagship carrying it was destroyed, the artifact drifted into the cosmic void for millions of years until crash-landing on Earth. Traded across centuries as an unbreakable puzzle box, it finally lands on the bottom shelf of a quiet Midwestern pawn shop. Enter James Bradley-clumsy, skinny, fired from his dead-end job, and abandoned by friends. With his last coins, he buys the cool metallic puzzle box. But when a freak slip at home sends him crashing into the box, his blood touches its ancient seams. The cube roars to life with blinding blue fire, authenticating him as the universe's long-lost Apex Carrier. Now, as cosmic armadas detect its awakening and descend upon Earth, James must master an incomprehensible cosmic power to defend his world.
