Ethaniel and Laura meet a new ally while investigating one of Banning's company buildings, a conspiracy theorist who seems to know more about the truth Banning and the Eternity group than he actually realizes. Banning sends a fellow alien, Breed, to hunt down Ethaniel and Laura, hoping for better success than he has had so far.

This would be impossible for humans, as it weighs 3 tons. Banning and Gant are their main suspects, but what would they want with an old relic?
Banning and Dent kidnap a friend of Laura's who is also a 'remote viewer', someone who can 'see' other places from a distance, to try and locate her and Ethaniel. They also visit Laura's parents, to warn them about Ethaniel and about how dangerous an individual he is. If they turn up there Banning gives them his number so that they can come and 'help' Laura.
Banning wants to get his hands on a formula that will enable him to make the chemicals that he needs to continue his experiments. His people attack Plaxico industries, the only place where he can find them. Ethaniel and Laura try to warn the owner of the company but are too late.

The man in charge of the building, Lethan, decides to test out it's traps on the two of them, against Banning's orders.
Byder discovers the location of Ethaniels brother, Thorber, and Ethaniel goes to the airport to meet up with him. He arrives at the same time as Myroc, a bounty hunter hired by Banning to find Isaac Lobel. Isaac has a computer disc full of information about Banning's contacts and is going to sell it to Thorber. Myroc manages to capture Ethaniel and tells Thorber he will trade his brother for the disc. Laura, Thorber and Isaac join together to try and find Ethaniel and Myroc while Byder gets left with the job of looking after Emil, Isaac's brat of a son.
Banning and his people discover a way to regenerate their bodies, stopping them from reverting back to their true form for a longer length of time. Tawrens discovers the location of this equipment and breaks in to sabotage their experiments. Inside Banning's laboratories he comes across a thief who has beaten him to the prototype, a human female, who gets away from him and Banning's security. Knowing that she doesn't realize what trouble she has got herself into Tawrens, Ethaniel and Laura try to find her before Gant does.
Ethaniel dreams that Banning is going to kill him. He believes that this is a certainty and Laura tries to persuade him differently. To help do this she tells him that her old friend from university, Rosalind, is a dream specialist and has her own center where she helps people. If they go there Rosalind may be able to tell Ethaniel what his dreams mean and separate his real memories from them. When she does this what she uncovers is a big surprise to both Ethaniel and Laura.

Thorber realizes that he is not ill but is reverting back to his true Therian state and if he does that the atmosphere on Earth will kill him! Thorber takes him and Laura to a friend of his, Dr Tremblay, who may be able to help. While the doctor tries to keep Ethaniel alive Laura and Thorber follow the only clue they have, a matchbook and a name written on it. To save Ethaniel from the virus that is causing his change they need to find out who infected him in the first place, and do it in the next 24 hours.
While retrieving an object from a plane that crashed into a lake a female diver, Robin Morley, is lost as a tremor strikes. The plane belonged to one of Banning's corporations and Byder tells Ethaniel that there must be something important on board if he wants it back. Ethaniel and Laura head of to the lake to help look for Robin and to find out what was onboard the plane that Banning is so eager to recover.
Following up information supplied by Byder Ethaniel, Laura and Tawrens set up surveillance on a missile base. Byder told them that he thinks Banning is going to try and take it over.

The Midas Prototype, an experimental cold fusion device, is stolen from an armored security van. Byder tells Ethaniel and Laura that all his information leads him to believe that Banning must have been involved. Banning had been trying to get the prototype's inventor, Sylvia Deschamps, to come and work for him and she had refused. If he really wanted to get hold of the machine her refusal would not have stopped him from getting his hands on her invention. Knowing that Banning will not stop at having just the machine Ethaniel and Laura track down Sylvia and warn her that Banning will be after her next, she doesn't believe them but is soon convinced when Dent arrives with some of thugs to grab her.

Ethaniel has discovered that they have a Therian bomb and wants to disarm it before it is used. By coincidence Dent is visiting at the same time. He is there to pick the bomb up for Banning. The militia commander refuses to do this and his men wipe out all of Banning's men with Dent. When Ethaniel and Laura are discovered in the compound the militia now how three enemies to hunt down. It doesn't take long for Ethaniel and Dent to bump into each other and decide that they need to team up if either of them is to stand a chance of getting out alive.
