Product Information

A quarter of a century later, in a world shaped by what's now known as "Haden's syndrome," rookie FBI agent Chris Shane is paired with veteran agent Leslie Vann. Like all good speculative fiction it started with an interesting premise and followed that premise through to to reasonable but unexpected permutations.

Often, when entering a fictional world that is different for our own–be they far in the future, on another world, or in a place ruled by magic–we have to learn the rules, and there’s often at least a little confusion as we try to catch up and figure out what exactly is going on. At the end of the audiobook, a novella was included, which explains even more how the disease originated and was spread.

Most people eat up movies like "The Terminator", "Matrix", or "Avatar" without dipping into the long writing tradition on these themes.
