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."

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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!! "

    " 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. "

    " 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! "
