About the Book

In the next two hundred years, there will be a human crisis that will wipe out more than one quarter of the Earth's population. It will not be war, alien invasion, or the pollution of the environment that will cause this decimation, but the onslaught of a virus; the most cunning enemy know to man. Faced with our own mortality, mankind will turn away from faith, and use science in an effort to preserve the human race.

The battle for survival will not merely reach into the hospitals and government offices, but into the lives of everyday people; where it will become a war between technology and morality, between medical science and religion.

Kyle Reed, a successful entrepreneur and CEO of his own company in the twentieth century, purchases a medical research company known for its work in genetics and refrigeration. Unknowingly, he has bought his way, and humankind's way into the future. Diagnosed with terminal cancer, he uses the technology of his newly acquired company, Kytec Industries, to preserve himself in cryogenic stasis.

With the financial backing of a multi-millionaire, Kytec industries becomes the leading medical research facility in the world. In the two hundred years that Kyle remains frozen, the human race finds itself thrown into a holocaust; dealing with the spread of disease and famine. Technology and religion clash during this time, and human testing will be used to find cures and propel mankind to survive and prosper.

Awakened after two hundred years, Kyle will be reborn into a world where there is a cure for every known disease, prolonged life and health, and even genetic enhancements that give humans flawless appearances. Soon Kyle will find out that the world around him is not so perfect, and finds he is in the middle of a war. Revivalist Knights, led by Tyr Huse, a man dedicated to a path of faith, who serve the church, and the director of the medical research company, Rein Carn, are battling over the souls of the Twenties; thousands of people who were born before 1999 and are frozen in cryogenic stasis.

The battle heats up when Kyle has to choose between supporting Rein, who is obsessed with his quest to design the perfect human species and to this end needs to use human test subjects, and Tyr, who asks Kyle to help destroy the company he once founded and protect the lives of the Twenties.

The battle for the Twenties is a battle for the soul of humanity.
