Millions of years prior to the modern era, before and during when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, reptiles, early mammals, and proto-birds "achieved super-powerful telepathic attunement with one another." Particularly skilled with telepathy were the "sail-backed" beings, such as the Dimetrodon, which had a neural fin along its back. Often mistaken for a small dinosaur, the Dimetrodon was actually a synapsid closely related to mammals. The telepathy of Dimetrodons is unknown to modern science, as are their cultural achievements, including cities, engineering projects, and military campaigns. Some Dimetrodons were spiritually advanced and regarded as transcendental beings. In fact, it was ancient high-tech warfare that led to the later mass extinction of Earth's life thought to have been caused by a massive meteor strike.

Philosophy, metaphysics, religion, history, science fiction, and biography converge in this highly creative volume. Blair brings the lives and achievements of ancient entities to life in a detailed narrative that reads like a compendium of scientific papers and science fiction storytelling. In this retold history of Earth, the author also revisits a more recent historical era. Dorians and Mycenaeans (early Greeks) were originally thought to have clashed during the "Greek Dark Ages" around 1100 BC, but this supposed invasion was later proven to be a myth, explaining instead warfare resulting in Dorians taking over and interbreeding with Mycenaeans. Their intertwined cultural history is creatively enhanced by Blair with visitations by extraterrestrials who "displayed technologies that would have made many twenty-first century... heads spin." The storyline then delves into a telepathic debate between two transcendental Dimetrodons and two Dorian men about the combined interactions of Hebrew, Roman, Greek, and other cultural influences within the Mediterranean region in 1 BC. Readers looking for a book unlike any they have read before will not be disappointed with Blair's unique offering.
