The year is 2147 and a brilliant light is seen in the sky. Two neutron stars collided 88 light years away and a wave of deadly radiation and destruction in the form of gamma and cosmic rays has been hurtling toward Earth at sub-light speed. Will it be the apocalypse? Two tiny remnants of humanity struggle to survive with the help of a visionary woman CEO and her companion human race of tissue-grown constructs, the PARDs, who are virtually indistinguishable from humans except for the company logos tattooed on them. From California to Antarctica and to the stars, this epic science fiction adventure of apocalypse, prediction, vision, love, and survival will entertain you with a glimpse at Earth's future and the future of the human race and the new forms it will take in this imaginative novel that predicts the logical conclusions of existing technologies some one hundred and thirty years from now. .
