Publisher's Synopsis
The glowing structure at the bottom of a lonely northern lake is clearly not of this Earth, but scuba diver Michael Hart can't stay away. It could be a scientific treasure like no other. First Contact. Or it could be a trap. But his day-to-day routine as a university professor has become a disappointment, and his shocking discovery is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be someone special.
The alien artifact is ancient but not abandoned, and what it offers will change him forever, leaving him with astonishing abilities, and a destiny he would never have imagined. Except it might be a destiny he no longer controls. He might not even be human anymore.
Ocean researcher Sakiko Matthews is desperate to find a cure for Earth's dying seas, willing to put her career on the line to learn the answers she needs. In Michael Hart she finds a mysterious ally who could be the key to her success, but the price of his partnership will be terribly high.
The path they choose will affect the very future of the human race.
The actions Michael takes will make him a hero, or the greatest traitor the world has ever known.
Because he is no longer alone, not even in his own body.
There is another.
Naïda.
