Walter Mosley takes a break from mystery writing, returning to science fiction with this allegorical fable. A wave brings with it a large number of reanimated dead people, who claim they are emissaries of a harmony-seeking life force. One of those most personally affected by this phenomenon is Errol Porter, who confronts a somewhat altered and considerably younger version of his father, who died of cancer years ago. Errol doesn't quite know how to respond to the situation, but Dr. David Wheeler, a doctor with Homeland Security, certainly does. Convinced that the wave represents a dangerous demonic invasion, Wheeler imprisons Errol and his apparent father while he works to find a way of permanently destroying the wave-beings.
