Humanity is in incredible peril. The minds of those long dead are taking over the bodies of the living, in increasingly alarming numbers. Joshua Calvert is desperately trying to recover a "doomsday weapon", an instrument that might blast the dead back into oblivion—but in the wrong hands, it could mean the end of the human race.

The souls of those long dead are entering the universe at an alarming rate. Stealing the bodies of the living, they are grouping together into powerful consortiums led by leaders from history.

But if the dead can return to life, who will be the ultimate victors?

An alien god may hold the solution to the crisis—if Joshua and Syrinx can discover it in time.
