A thought-provoking novel of an alternate reality!
It is the day after tomorrow, early in the next millennium, and all over the world people begin experiencing bizarre mental transformations. The majority of men and women experience their minds shutting down, but a handful develop astounding new psychic abilities. They are the adepts.
As society breaks apart and new alliances form, strangers become locked in a crucial battle to determine the future of a brave new world. But deep beneath the earth, an inhuman intelligence dormant for thirty million years is stirring once again and sending its psychic tendrils into the minds of the vulnerable multitudes.
Fighting amongst themselves, the adepts can scarcely imagine the awesome and ancient power that will ultimately test a new breed of man. For this alien entity has its own plans for Earth . . . one that does not include humanity.
