The Gift

Earth's future is in the hands of one of two men. Sam Steele, a broken father and husband, or Eric Web, a career officer who believes the U.S. government is always right. Visitors from an exterminated alien race have arrived on earth, and they are nothing like previously imagined. They are an interconnected collection of manufactured constructs, each designed to help a single intelligent life form. They call themselves gifts and they bring terrifying news. There is a battle going on among the stars and lifeforms like humans are losing. The gifts offer assistance, but it comes with a price. In order to receive their help, humanity must agree to help them. What must humankind become to save itself?
