Book 2 of The Tetrad Cycle
Allen Hemsey has made the discovery of a lifetime: a particle embedded in the pineal gland responsible for the collapse of the quantum wave function, and it may be nothing less than the human soul. It's a finding that could reshape civilization, and Allen believes it holds the key to defending humanity against an extraterrestrial threat no one else knows exists. But some truths, once uncovered, cannot be controlled.
Clausen Carey, a psychic television personality haunted by visions of Bridgewater's destruction, drowns his gift in vodka and regret. Estranged from the daughter he can no longer read, Clausen is pulled into a web of missing children, faceless predators, and something evil lurking at the edge of perception.
When Allen's revelation reaches those closest to him, it ignites a crisis of identity that fractures friendships, marriages, and the very meaning of existence.
As a black pyramid descends over the city and the Elm River rises, the fates of a scientist, a psychic, and everyone they love converge in a storm that threatens to collapse everything.
