The imminent fulfilment of ‘End Days’ prophesies, an inbound comet, a troubling dream, and an ex-almost-girlfriend from the past, conspire to cause chaos in Fraser Davies’ life, but he is unwittingly a small part of a bigger plan – someone is watching, and waiting, and planning…
They have been watching and gathering for 2500 years. They are here in fulfilment of prophecy, but not one of earthbound religion. A ‘New Genesis’ looms. Fraser Davies doesn’t know it, but he is inextricably linked to these ‘Watchers’.
The year is 2006. A new comet is discovered, inbound, on a near earth trajectory. SETI, the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence, finally finds proof of alien intelligence, but the signals end abruptly.
Meanwhile, in Scotland, Fraser has a dream. It disturbs him deeply, triggering memories of Natasha, a friend from university, and threatening both his marriage and employment.
After publication of a sci-fi story inspired by the dream, Natasha contacts Fraser, insisting that his story is recovered memory not fiction. They are soon fleeing from clandestine agencies, embroiled in political and extra-terrestrial intrigue.
The comet approaches. Biblical prophesies tumble as the planet is increasingly rocked by disaster.
Then things get interesting…
