As Alpha Centauri disappears, a small group of chimps in the Ivory Coast rapidly evolve to, and beyond, the state of humankind.
From her lab at the Mauna Loa observatory, Emily detects a signal coming from the direction of the vanishing star. Unable to convince herself that these extraordinary events are unrelated, Emily sets off on a journey of understanding and discovers something that will shift the fate of humanity.
At the same time three people have life changing encounters with one of the newly evolved post-humans: Jonah, who is alone in an evacuated seaside town as a monumental hurricane approaches, has finally worked up the courage to end things. Toshi, whose daughter was kidnapped four months ago, has nothing left but hope and a knife as he refuses to call off the search. Shel struggles to find the difference between loss and freedom as she questions her faith.
As all of these events play out, vast and unseen starships approach Earth for the first time in hundreds of thousands of years.
