A sci-fi thriller as only A.G. Riddle can write: a group of strangers with tinnitus begins seeing numbers--numbers they soon realize are a code that will change the world.
Alan Norris has lost everything. Except his daughter. And he's willing to do anything to protect her. The day of his wife's funeral, as he's marching to give the eulogy, the ringing in his ears starts.
He's heard it for years.
It began when he was in the Marines, the day a roadside bomb went off.
Usually, it's a low whine. A tea kettle that never quite boils.
That day, as his prosthetic and his good leg sink into the soggy grass, the ringing is different. It sounds like three jagged rocks dropped in a tin can and shaken.
When the rattling reaches a crescendo, he sees a series of numbers:
12122518914208
He assumes it's nothing more than a stress reaction. A hallucination.
He soon learns he's wrong about that.
The ringing and the numbers are a mystery.
The problem is that when that unseen hand shakes the can with the rocks, he begins to lose time. A few minutes at first. Then longer stretches.
One night, he wakes up next to a dead body.
He could call the police. Or run.
But he has a daughter. And he doesn't know what happened to her during the time he lost.
For that reason, he digs deeper.
He discovers that he's not the only one seeing the numbers. And that the sequence represents more than he ever imagined.
They will change his life.
And soon after, the world.
