In coastal Buchanan, Oregon, physician Matt Wheeler is one of only ten who said no to eternity. As he watches his friends, his colleagues, even his beloved daughter transform into something more—or less—than human, he finds that his concepts of life and death, good and evil, god and mortal must undergo a similar change if he is to retain his bittersweet hold on life.
Others, however, find such introspection to be self-defeating—perhaps even treasonous. If we've been invaded by aliens, reasons Col. John Tyler, we've got to fight back. Even if they are in human form. And sifting through the remnants of the United States, he finds those who agree with him.
And so, at the end of the world, it is like it was at the beginning. There are those who choose heaven, those who choose earth, and those who choose hell. And as these three groups move toward their fates, humanity finds itself on the bring of a destiny that may forever change the face of the universe itself.
