Dark days are looming. Human behavior will be adversely influenced unless the Lower Middle can prevent it. The Higher Middle, with its dark menacing leader, is growing in power, while Jon still doubts his own true purpose. He becomes more and more distant as all the women close to him die, filling him with more doubt, remorse, and uncertainty. The Higher Middle must be defeated if the balance between good and evil is to be maintained, but the Lower Middle's numbers are dwindling and they desperately need Jon, who has disappeared. To fulfil her ultimate goal in securing victory, Zelphur is putting the final touches on her master plan. Her people are in place, she has unlimited resources at her disposal, and she is wielding her power recklessly. Only the Lower Middle is standing in her way, and they are proving difficult to track down and trap, even when located by her network.

Only a final face-to-face battle will decide the outcome, so Zelphur set her traps for Jon's remaining group, which they deliberately walk into. Desperate times called for desperate measures and all defenders are needed. Will Jon show up to help? This final novel in a science fiction trilogy is based on historical facts.
