Publisher Description
The New York Times bestselling author returns to science fiction with an eerie, transcendent novel of the near future.
Errol's father has been dead for several years. Yet lately Errol has been awakened in the middle of the night by a caller claiming to be his father. Is it a prank, or a message from the grave? When he hears the unmistakable sound of a handset being put down on a table, he decides to investigate.
Curious and not a little unnerved, Errol sneaks into the graveyard where his father is buried. What he finds there changes his life forever.
Caught up in a war between a secret government security agency and an alien presence infecting our world, touched by the Wave, he knows that nothing will ever be the same again.

"My boyfriend told me to read this and I won't break up with him or anything because it was actually pretty interesting. I have only read a few books where the main character is black, so it was new for me. I liked the concept, however I'm still not really sure what exactly happened."

" Always Walter Mosley's science fiction novels. "
— Eric, 2/15/2014 -
" This book was a bit weird--i didn't quite buy the omniscient amoeba parasitical god thing, or the mad-plastic-surgeon bit. And i thought it was pretty sexist too-the female characters were one-dimensional sex objects. I definitely liked Futureland and Blue Light a lot better. I think I only liked this because the other sci-fi book I'm reading right now is *really* badly written. Meh. "

" A good little book. I thought it might be some sort of paranormal type thing at first, but I gave it a little time, and it paid off. Very cool sci- fi book. "
— Oliver, 2/3/2014 -
" Walter Mosley is a master storyteller. This book is part fiction/Sci-Fi. Very different from anything I have ever read before, but very good. I look forward to reading more of his books. "
— Chelsea, 11/16/2013 -
" At first I did not like the beginning of the book and was forced to read it because I had nothing else on hand to read. But the story is fabulous!!! I love the mix of supernatural in this novel, it's quite a change from Mosley's normal works!! "
— Shaneka, 10/13/2013 -
" This man can write some super sci fi! "
— Vickie, 9/27/2013 -
" Creepy and strange...but pretty awesome. It's considered science fiction, and it is definitely out there...but if you are looking for something to take you out of your normal reading routine, try this one for a different type of journey. "
— Natasha, 9/10/2013 -
" This book was so bad, that it is hands down the closest that I have ever come to not finishing a book that I started. "
— John, 8/1/2013 -
" Good start mixing mystery crime and then sci fi. But but ends up like rather silly 50s b movie. Nice style but sorry Walter you are not a good sci fi writer "
— Jon, 6/18/2013 -
" Now this book was extremely interesting! The concept was very futurist and totally unexpected from this author because I've been reading/listening to the audio CDs his mysteries. I really enjoyed it though, the oneness, the eery quality. Worth checking out! "
— Poeticleah, 11/22/2012 -
" This was not my favorite audio book. Perhaps the characterization was what was irritating. I suppose the story was okay, but I listened just to see what happened at the end. "
— Diana, 7/20/2012 -
" This one was better than Mosley's other sci-fi novel "Blue Light." It wasn't one of my favorite Sci Fi reads, but it went some interesting places and kept me turning pages. The characters were deep and colorful. This time Mosley has proved that he can tackle any genre with his captivating prose. "
— Benjamin, 7/12/2012 -
" While I enjoyed the writing, I can't say I found the plot or the characters compelling. "
— Dave, 10/4/2011 -
" Intriguing read. Moved quickly and kept me engaged. "
— Keets, 7/14/2011 -
" Just AWFUL! I wish there was a 'Zero Stars' option, but since there is not: one star for the presence of words on the page. Simplistic writing, no character development and I could have used heavy narcotics after being beaten over the head with the religious metaphor. "
— M, 6/26/2011 -
" What a fascinating SF book. Mosley has created one of the most intriguing ideas of what an alien being could be. I picked up this audiobook after listening to Mosley's Foutunate Son. "
— Sheryl, 5/1/2011 -
" This book was amazing. A friend recommended it to me and I loved it. It is a fantasy story mixed with science and love. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good science filled thriller. <br/> <br/>Enjoy and hope you like it as much as I did! "

" A phone call from someone who sounds like a long dead father sets off a bizarre and deadly chain of events. This is the second time I read this book on my romp through Walter Mosley's books. "
— Mariana, 8/20/2009 -
" When a strange wave brings back the dead, the gvt goes crazy. <br/>Awesome book. "
— Lee, 5/10/2009 -
" Very wierd book, cautiously skirting/careening wildly around the edges of a lot of sci-fi cliches and getting at something a little uncomfortable and possibly profound, and definitely unusual, while doing so. "
— Ero, 2/9/2009 -

" i guess i'm just hooked on easy rawlins and not the sci fi and fantasy stuff. <br/>like the style of writing but he plot was not my "cup of tea". "
