Those with the job of thinking the unthinkable face the greatest challenge of their lives. Old orders are failing- tired democracies falter in the face of violence in the streets. A storm of financial might and technological horror is gathering. Calvin November, a messianic figure, makes a Presidential bid and an astonishing offer. Primitive animal fear drives a messenger through a winter night with a warning nobody wants to hear.
