Fifteen feet tall, the Entities land in cities across Earth. lgnoring humankind, they wall themselves in impenetrable enclaves, enslaving a few willing collaborators with their telepathic PUSH. Then they plunge humans into a new Dark Age without electricity, allowing us to live -- but no longer as a dominant species.
But a few refuse to submit to fate, including the Carmichael family, whose patriarch, an aging colonel devoted to resistance, will inspire a daring new generation of dissidents. United in spirit, these diverse rebels -- an aging hippie, a cold-blooded Muslim assassin, a prodigal son, and a renegade hacker -- will carry on the colonel's legacy as they attempt to kill the mysterious Prime Entity and free the planet.
Robert Silverberg is an American author, best known for writing science fiction. He is a multiple winner of both the Hugo and Nebula Awards.
