Despite several acts of divine retribution to try to set things straight, humanity is doomed beyond hope. Earth is a constant battlefield where soldiers of the same army fight ruthlessly amongst themselves . . . at least, that's what it would seem like to other civilizations. This desolate reality does not stop Dr. Lara Conner from seeking the truth. As a brilliant scientist who goes against all odds to prove humanity has something worth fighting for, Lara thrives amidst the male-dominated circles of researchers and academics, winning both their prestige and their unwelcomed infatuation; unwelcomed, until she comes face-to-face with Bohden Vonchrist. Bohden, the mysterious messenger sent to veer Lara away from the truth, is determined to succeed-only to realize that he is the one being thrown off course. Oblivious to the fact that other civilizations even exist in the universe, Lara can only rely on her intuition to warn her that Bohden has an unfathomable secret. Although her instincts falter in the presence of the enigmatic stranger, her resolve does not waver. She goes to the end of the Earth-and beyond-to discover the truth. An inevitable attraction...an impossible love... the truth that Lara so ardently seeks...might just be the key to unlock the barrier between two alien worlds.
