The future of the human race depends on ten specially gifted people-but nobody knows who they are.
In the twilight of the 21st century, humanity seeks salvation from despair. Entrepreneur Eris Lateinos promises to create a happier, more prosperous new era with a plan to ferry resource rich asteroids into Earth orbit.
Tristan West, Lateinos' embittered ex-PR man, suspects that the price of the era is far too steep. His suspicions put him at odds with the most powerful man in the galaxy and plunge him into a conspiracy that will determine the destiny of two worlds.
For West, discovering the truth requires an unlikely alliance with a zealous missionary and two mysterious strangers who harbor incredible secrets of their own. But all of them share the same goal-find the ten people who possess the Radiance before their lives, and the last hope for humanity, are destroyed.

Chapter One
The huge metal door flew open and struck the old woman on the head. The force of the blow lifted her off her feet, and she collapsed to the cold tile floor in a spray of blood.No one seemed to notice.
Scores of people poured through the open door, a mad river of humanity splashing against the Customs counter. No one took the time to help the elderly attendant. Few bothered to avoid stepping on her.
Dylan figured she deserved it.
Stupid old bag! he thought. Ever heard of automated door openers? Serves you right if you're trampled to death.
Seated at a broad marbled counter, Dylan sighed angrily and touched a button near his right knee. A kilometer away, an alarm sounded in the small, understaffed Modos Medical Center. A paramedic team would be dispatched to the spaceport-eventually.
Of course, any of the seven Customs agents who saw the accident could have helped avoid it, but rendering aid to foolish old women was not in their job descriptions. In fact, they had a very simple job-stamping passports and watching for troublemakers.
The first task was easy. The other required equal parts expertise and intuition. Just what constituted a "troublemaker" at a shady gambling resort like Modos? The agents could not say for sure, but they knew one when they saw one.
Wide-eyed faces peered through the Plexiglas shield towering above the Customs counter. Lips moved in rapid motion, but their words were unintelligible in the din. Suddenly, a recorded voice-a throaty, sexy female voice-echoed through the reception area.
