A diabolical nazi scientific experiment from the past returns in the present to threaten the future-unless two unlikely heroes can stop it.
When Jake Logan - Ph.D. candidate in philosophy and stringer for a local newspaper - is told to cover the suicide of his former ethics professor and mentor, a Dachau survivor, he begins an odyssey into the events of the past and those of the present that will have profound implications for the future. Teaming up with his mentor's granddaughter, a beautiful, appealingly quirky twenty year-old science prodigy whose odd affectations and bizarre language usage mask a brilliant mind, Jake must battle his own ethical principles as well as his enemies as he fights to prevent the emergence of die Sonneleute, the cognitively enhanced Sun People, who will bring a new future to humanity - but only to a chosen few.
