In one moment a global blackout occurs, and six billion humans become unconscious. During a brief yet seemingly eternal three-minute sequence, a series of catastrophic events occurs, and minds collide with truths hidden beyond the physical realm. With the reawakening comes a drastically and horrifically altered world—populations decimated and social order gutted. No one seems to remember the truth that has been revealed or that this discovery could destroy the human race—except Laura. Though even she has no knowledge of why the postblackout births are mutations or what is so wrong with some of the survivors.

Ignoring the dread that pitted his stomach at his glimpse of five year-old Lucas's guileless expression, he distracted himself with thoughts of John Thomas.
By age three, his oldest son had no longer responded to being called John or Johnny. John knew his mother was Mary Thomas and his father was Craig Thomas and that he was John Thomas. He required everyone to call him John Thomas, though his mother was allowed to call him Honey. Craig smiled at the memory.
