Jalek and the Starbook
Dr. Jalek Holan has always considered himself a rational man, a man of science and scientific thought. A young professor of Cosmological Sciences at his university, he is doing his best to make a good impression to the board so that he can finally start taking steps to be granted his tenure. However, all of that goes arwy one night when he loses time, only to discover that a mysterious book has appeared in his briefcase. The book, old and decrepit, is filled with strange images of things he has never seen before and words from a language that Jalek nor anyone else he asks can decipher. Before he knows it, strange things start happening to him overshadowed by the every growing knowledge that someone else also knows of the book's existence and will stop at nothing to get it back.
