One strike changed everything.Seth Knight was just an ordinary construction worker in Portland, Michigan, until a bolt of blue lightning from the depths of space and time tore through the sky. He didn't die. He transformed. Now, with eyes that glow electric blue and the power to heal the dying, Seth has become a local hero—and a primary target for a government that fears what it cannot control.As Agent Garrett Vance and the Exotic Threat Mitigation task force close in, Seth must rely on a mismatched team of allies: his loyal friend Steve, a brilliant engineer named Jack, a meticulous accountant named Bre, and Anessa Cole, a cynical professional hacker who captures Seth's heart. But the government is the least of their worries.The lightning wasn't a natural disaster; it was a temporal rift. Commander Vahn Krell, an alien scout from a dying star system, is coming to Earth to reclaim the energy surging through Seth's veins. As Seth's own consciousness begins to merge with a cosmic data-structure, he must master his god-like abilities before he loses his humanity. Between federal harassment and an impending extraterrestrial invasion, Seth must decide if he is a man, a weapon, or the only conduit standing between Earth and total annihilation.
