Into Everywhere (Something Coming)

Humanity's future has been disrupted and shaped by the mysterious alien Jackaroo. We spread to the planets they gave us, and we discovered the ruins of a dozen previous civilizations. All previous clients of the Jackaroo. All dead.

A woman living a quiet secluded life, with only her dog and her demons for company. The dissolute heir to a powerful merchant family. The laminated brain of a long-dead woman. A policeman, seemingly working for the Jackaroo.

All of these people are on the edges of a vast plan, one which will span decades and light years. We may finally discover if the aliens really are here to help us . . .
