Gather the Kindred

A separate branch of the family of man, in existence since the dawn of time, has emerged from obscurity. Endowed with psychic powers, they link up telepathically to survive a global cataclysm they have presaged. They do not know what form the disaster will take or when it will happen, whether it will be natural or man made, only that it will blanket Earth in death and destruction on a massive scale.

Perceived as a potential threat to "normal" humans, they are tracked down relentlessly by an intelligence agency of the United States Government. Using their psychic abilities to thwart the pursuit, they set out to build underground safe havens on all seven continents.

Their saga unfolds in New York, London, Washington, Toronto, southern Africa and the Australian outback, coming to an explosive climax in Canada's Far North.
