Publisher's summary

To Jake Bayard’s amazement, he meets a Homo habilis: a five-foot, hundred-pound hairy hominid that was supposed to have gone extinct 1.65 million years ago.

Philip is no moronic precursor to man, but a member of the elite extraterrestrial Institute, needing help to leave Earth. The problem is that Philip is a liar, a sneak, and a diabolical genius using the Traveler for his own ends.

Out in the stars, Bayard discovers a conspiracy backed by ancient military tech and run by the little hominids bent on conquering everything, including Earth.

What can one Marine stranded on a deadly alien planet do against an army of technologically superior soldiers? Bayard is about to find out.

The Institute is the fourth tale in the Traveler series of a gung-ho Terran taking on the masters of an insidious and ancient alien conspiracy.

Solid stories

I always enjoy listening to Vaughn Heppner’s stories! And the narrator does a superb job at making it come to life in the audio book. Looking forward to the next one.

The next books look to continue the travels

The book series provides ideas, information, and thoughts for the mind. Information is priceless in a world of disagreements.
