Impact

USA TODAY bestseller and Eric Hoffer Award winner, this is a true story we hope never happens.

A year later, he wakes up in a city hospital looking like an omni-racial Olympic athlete. His body wasn't repaired ... it was replaced. He's GMO, a genetic blend of humanity's best genes, but with a voice in his head that tells him an extinction-level event is imminent.

The most likely explanation is paranoid schizophrenia, but with no identity or options, he uses his insider knowledge to create a fake classified program. Recruiting a brilliant international team, they secretly develop the world's most powerful weapon ... to protect humanity?

This is a work of fiction. Unfortunately, the science behind it isn't. Backed by a team of experts that include renowned astrophysicists, astronauts, admirals and intelligence operatives, these extinction-level events are inevitable but also completely preventable ... if we act.
