One in a thousand will be saved. Are you on the list? Dr. Darian Leigh is missing, presumed dead, and the "Eater" microverse he created is about to destroy Earth. His protégés, Kathy Liang and Greg Mahajani, race to solve the mysterious anomaly. If they can't figure it out, they'll need to convince world leaders to colonize the asteroid belt and save as many people as they can. Will Alum, ruthless leader of the powerful YTG church, use his resources to help, or will he exploit the growing chaos to launch his reign as the Living God? There isn't much time and they can't save everyone.
