In a war with sadistic killers, there are no winners...only survivors. After power-riding up an old mining trail, specialist bike manufacturer, Adam Barnett, finds himself disoriented and confused. A lightning strike has burned a hole in his shoe and zapped his memory, but he knows enough to fear the bloodcurdling scream echoing up from the canyon. With the help of a large black dog, he hightails it out of there, only to look back and see that he's being pursued. At Biodosius, a gated research laboratory tucked away in the hills above Scottsdale, Arizona, a secret military research project has come unraveled. When Major Blain Jacobson helicopters in to assess the damage, he faces an information blackout. Inside the lab, he smells blood. Corpses line the halls. Soon, he and his squad of well armed men are running for their lives. On a remote ranch in Northern Arizona, Victoria Stewart, whose family has been victimized by narco-traffickers, awakens to a familiar internal voice, the voice of "Dark." Another homicide is about to occur. Upset by her newfound psychic powers, but defiant, she's determined to conquer her terror. Maybe she can reach the intended victims before it's too late. The problem is, she doesn't know who or where they are. Lightning is a multi-character, action-packed thriller with an amoral villain, a raft of bad-guy accomplices, and footprints that spell danger for the Phoenix metro area. Can the three protagonists put the pieces together before danger picks them off one by one?
