a sea story and the birth of a new civilization. The Phoenix, a mysterious organization wants to unite the world for a well-being shared by all. But in the end the fundamental question will be: by whom was it created and for what real purpose?
During the meeting in India he was proposed to collaborate with this organization, The Phoenix, which operated worldwide and had unlimited financial resources and technologies unthinkable in those years. He was chosen because he was considered fit for the task they would assign to him, on the basis of some mental analyses to which he had been subjected without his knowledge. He accepted because he fully agreed with the goals the Phoenix wanted to achieve in the long term. After a few trips on board of s/s Bayhorse, during which he had the opportunity to verify the extraordinary technologies at Phoenix disposal, he was asked to disembark and reach their underground base, in the desert of Nevada, in the United States.
At the base he discovered a world unknown and wonderful to him. The technologies they had were so advanced that in the 1960s no one would even have guessed them. What astonished him most, was the way of transferring information from a computer archive directly into the human mind. He himself underwent gradual notional treatments that took his knowledge to unthinkable levels before then. Gradually his position grew in importance in the organization, until he reached the highest levels of management and joined the Council, after receiving the final notional treatment. At that point it was clear to him many political, economic and social events that had occurred in the last fifty years that had been communicated to the masses but adapted for political, economic or military purposes. The Phoenix archives had the true answers to all the mysteries of that time as its external agents, working in the shadows, discreetly sought to influence the various governments. The ultimate goal was to achieve, for all the inhabitants of the planet, a coexistence and a well-being equally shared and to guarantee everyone an individual freedom that, however, was prevented from turning into a prevarication for others. At that time it was still utopian, but over the next hundred years, the target, that the Phoenix had set at the beginning, will be fully achieved.
The protagonist at the age of 70 retires with his wife to a ranch in Arizona and his place will be taken by his son, but only his grandchild will see, the results of his work.
In the following years, The Phoenix worked in the shadows to influence governments to practice more supportive policies not subjected to international financial powers. When, within a hundred years, the Earth becomes a single nation populated by wealthy people, without conflicts, racism, economic rivalries, The Phoenix manifests itself to the masses and publicly offers all its technologies making them available to all, for the common well-being. At this point the world government entrusted The Phoenix with scientific research and the exploration of the space. One of the most valiant commanders of spaceships will be, indeed, the grandson of the young wireless officer.
At the beginning of the space exploration, some senior officials of The Phoenix ask themselves about the question of how the Phoenix was born and who founded it. During the colonization of a planet in the Alpha Centauri system, Commander Gordon discovers clues that will lead him to shed light on all the secrets of The Phoenix.
Following the clues discovered on Alpha Centauri, Gordon arrives in the constellation of Andromeda, where on a mysterious planet that orbits a red dwarf called Upsilon Andromedae, he meets incorporeal beings who use malformed bodies locked up underground as a home. These beings have a mission and that is to make the various civilizations present in the universe evolve and promote their peaceful coexistence. They ware the ones who created the Phoenix on the Earth.
After revealing their mission, they ask Gordon for help. One of the species they had helped to evolve, rebelled and became a cruel one. They had the most advanced technologies but had a primitive and ruthless social organization similar to that of the Middle Ages on the Earth. Only the Terrestrians seem able to counter them and restore peace.
In the second volume, still to be completed, Terrestrians have at their disposal extremely advanced technologies and weapons capable of facing and overhelming any enemy. With his mighty fleet, Gordon discovers, in the constellation of the Peacock, the planet Uluth that has been subdued by the merciless beings and helps the rebels to free themselves from the invaders. The same will happen on many other worlds until the final victory.
When the whole universe will be at peace as the incorporeal beings of Upsilon Andromedae wanted, the Terrestrial race will be the predominant one and will continue to impose the peace even by force. Then a doubt will come: will they be as peaceful as they appeared at the beginning of their conquests. Will the peace imposed by them be like that imposed many centuries ago by the Roman Empire? What the other species will have in return from Terrestrians?
