Publisher's Synopsis
The replacement of humans has begun. It starts with the voices ...
It is war-ravaged China in the 1930's. John Powers and his fellow group of pilgrims are trying to evade Nationalist forces, communist rebels and the invading Japanese army, all while carrying a strange golden statue and searching for a mysterious woman known as Her. At the same time, John begins hearing voices insisting that he conceive a son with another of the travelers.
Who is Her? Why do the voices want John to have a son? Are the voices evidence that John has schizophrenia, as he fears? Or are they something else altogether?
The Stillness Series is a thought-provoking saga that contemplates the end of the human race as we know it. It begins with a small group of humans seeking a mysterious woman known as Her and culminates many generations later in the rise of a new, more powerful, and empathetic species, the Superior Ones.
