"Monster? We don't have that word in our dictionary. The closest translation would be Deemee Durawga or, one who is restless. So begins the story of the very restless Tanner, a self-serving egotistical teenager always trying to do things his way. After being raised on an alien spacecraft for ten years by beings who have no idea how to properly educate or nurture him, he decides to jump ship while stealing a time machine in the process. Traveling millions of years in the future, he brings an alien civilization out of the stone age, only to be eventually banished because of his "methods." Returning to the ship and causing even greater havoc to an attacking enemy ship and losing family members in the process, he vows to go back in time to that first night when he was "abducted" by aliens and rescue his young self from a future that seems to be nothing short of a interstellar catastrophe.
