description: When out-of-shape IT technician Roen woke up and started hearing voices in his head he naturally assumed he was losing it. He wasnt. He now has a passenger in his brain  an ancient alien life-form called Tao whose race crash-landed on Earth before the first fish crawled out of the oceans. Now split into two opposing factions  the peace-loving but under-represented Prophus and the savage powerful Genjix  the aliens have been in a state of civil war for centuries. Both sides are searching for a way off-planet and the Genjix will sacrifice the entire human race if thats what it takes. Meanwhile Roen is having to train to be the ultimate secret agent. Like thats going to end up well
