In this fast-paced psychological thriller, the final entry in Anthony Caplan’s best-selling The Jonah Trilogy, Corrag and Ben, the brave-yet-doomed lovers of The Victor’s Heritage, are reunited. But now, humanity faces a crisis - the last of the free-brained, creative folk have risen against the enslaved people of the Augment and their elite Republican Homeland overlords. 

It is 2072, and falling creative information flows in the Augment system mean there is little time to reach full power status and launch the planetary cover before the incoming Oort Cloud asteroids destroy civilization.

Corrag and Ben make a run for freedom with their daughter Hera to find David’s Tower, an alternative society. At the same time, Corrag's father Ricky sets out to find his father’s book that he is sure will answer the deep-seated root of humanity’s evil. 

These are just a few of the individuals on a quest, drawn to the utopian world of the Tower, built by the man known to his followers as the "Saint". David Shavelson, a former owner of a Brooklyn bookstore, is a charismatic visionary leading a community in resistance against the mental enslavement of the Augment system. The Augment leaders know they must crush the Tower or lose control of their destiny.
