When the alien entity, has completed the gestation period, he is forced to tell Adam he will need more help. The world seems to be going well for Adam, until he and Zeke discover that the Ganymede authorities, have detected Zeke and now his mate Tilly have arrived on the planet.

It’s a cat and mouse game to avoid the agents, save the Anakim race and add the final entity to the mix that forms the total reproductive union of the Anakim. Unlike Adam, and other humanoid beings, the Anakim need a three entity unity to reproduce among themselves. In the end, rushed by time, Enoch is brought to Ganymede, and Adam must enlist the help of his neighbor’s nineteen year old daughter, Eve.

When she is told the situation she anxiously agrees, if it means being with Adam on a full time basis. Time is of the essence for Adam, Eve and the Anakim, before they are discovered and eliminated.
