Overview

In the future, everything is different--but nothing has changed.

Thousands of miles below him, a world trembles; its people cringe in terror and despair in anticipation of an impending apocalypse. And fate has cast one extraordinary human in the role of savior. For David Adams has a plan--one that will ultimately ensure the salvation of his species ... or its annihilation.
