In the late twenty-first century, J.R., AKA Cat or El Gato, is a contented college history professor busy falling in love with a beautiful concert musician. But his increasingly powerful psychic skills are warning him of the cataclysmic destruction of Earth by global warming and World War III, and he must now find some means of survival for the human race. In this prequel, the fourth book of the Devistor series, we follow events before and during the Great Disaster, and begin to understand the history of the mystical Cat, who, supported by three brilliant women, will oversee the Earth’s survivors through thousands of years to a new Dark Age, a Renaissance, an Industrial Age, and finally, a true Space Age, while preparing the new world for a cataclysmic menace—a return of the aliens who nearly ended human life. In keeping with the fascinating mythologies and intricate world-building of the previous books in the Devistor series, the genres of action-thriller, hypnotic fantasy, and post-apocalyptic science fiction are seamlessly woven together...and now include the vibrant threads of three emotionally resonant romances.
