A sparse human population, in this well-detailed future post-apocalyptic novel, nervously co-exist with the saurian, the decendents of biologically modified super soldiers engineered during the unwinding of our world. It is against this strange backdrop that an unlikely hero, Joe Flannigan, rescues Eva from a cult commune, and invokes the rage roiling inside of its mystical and messianic leader. Follow Joe and Eva's journey, as the man possessed with a supernatural affliction pursues them, controlling all who would dare block his own will or the evil that controls him.
