In the aftermath of catastrophic global financial collapse, which all but destroyed even the most advanced countries, two scientists discover an anomaly which could, in the right hands, help save mankind but in the wrong hands destroy it. The scientists intend to build a new society, populated with carefully selected like minded specialists, offering them freedom and a completely new way of life. The enormous power of their discovery was uncovered by a brutal emergent Super Power and a megalomaniac renegade politician who, for personal reasons, wanted the invention for himself and would use any means to get it.
