The year is 2449 - Abel Kane is an autobiographical author working on his next book. And what a book it is: the life story of the beloved senator turned Presidential candidate, Jim Palmer. While investigating his subject matter, Abel witnesses a murder that opens up a pandora’s box and calls into question everything he thought he knew. The victim appears to have been a machine in human skin. The mere existence of this aberration suggests it is part of a surreptitious takeover. Determined to find answers and get to the truth, Abel finds himself caught in the middle of a dangerous conspiracy. And the more he uncovers, the more Abel begins to fear he might be the only human left.
