“Nexxus” is a profound reflection on the duality of each being, whether on Earth or anywhere in the universe. The fiction that permeates “Nexxus” is the reality that has shaped the history of humanity over the millennia, and that is repeated in other universal civilizations. In the 1940s, when we detonated atomic bombs and shot down a peaceful alien ship that was visiting us, in our eagerness to capture its technology, we sent a clear message to peoples and civilizations much more advanced than we could have imagined: We, human beings, are a dangerous race, not only to ourselves, but also to other worlds; our ethics are the search for power for power’s sake, and our philosophy is not to share power.And this message was understood and responded to in kind. By exterminating a peaceful and defenseless crew, we opened the doors to a universe we did not know: Other races, advanced, powerful and ruthless; Worlds, beings, powers and horrors never imagined by the human race.
