Is this merely a Drax ploy designed to reassert their control over humanity, or is it a cosmic event beyond anyone's understanding? Soon, Dr. Shepard, Colonel Peters, and their elite team are dispatched to investigate the phenomenon. But nothing can prepare them for what awaits.

Their claims and their appearance seem prophesied by the Bible, and religion and politics clash as arguments break out about whether these visitors have the right to take people.

It's the morning of day seven in this post-apocalyptic world and from the news on the radio it appears WWIII has already begun. How long until the batteries in the radios and flashlights fail?
