The trilogy is set in a world that’s similar to ours but has magic—which is largely about manipulating probabilities to achieve the desired outcome. Among other things, the setting features deities, demons, meta-humans, and mind control. The first book has several main characters. Doc Future has underwent several mental augmentations which made him the smartest human in the world. His adopted daughter Flicker can operate at super speeds and is a high functioning autistic. Flicker’s best friend Dr. Stella Reinhart is introduced as a mind control researcher. Donner is a meta-human rock musician whose supernatural abilities manifest through his voice. The book is followed by Skybreaker’s Call and The Maker’s Ark.
