Publisher's Synopsis
TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR HUMANITY . . . A rift in space now connects Earth to another galaxy. A result of the Cold War's secret nuclear arms race, hidden by scientists and US governments for half a century. Forgotten. But behind this portal lies an ancient and malevolent race, the Vu-Hak. Once organic, now entities of pure thought drifting between the stars, they are an alpha species. A species that colonises on a galactic scale. And they are coming here. Dr. Kate Morgan, grieving the recent death of her child, encounters a strange man in her emergency room. A man who speaks to her telepathically. A man who knows things about her he could not possibly know. Amnesic, enigmatic, Adam Benedict is not entirely human. The authorities are desperate to capture him, but driven by urges he cannot understand, he goes on the run, taking Kate with him.
