Cat Davis has lived a pretty normal life as a journalist for a small ezine until she writes a story that puts her life in danger and lands at Monolith, a global corporate behemoth run by a mysterious billionaire who seems to know everything about her. Gradually, they fall in love, and more curious about him now than ever, she digs into his past and discovers he doesn’t have one. 

Then she learns that Monolith’s highly publicized low-orbit satellite network is not a benign tool for mapping and global surveillance as people have been led to believe, but instead, a fully operational, laser-equipped weapons system capable of vaporizing an intercontinental ballistic missile and diminishing the risk of global nuclear war for years to some. 

Then she uncovers the astonishing truth. John Allman is not from this world. He’s a man from the future, a future where empathy has replaced fear as the taproot of survival and where the suffering and deep inequalities of her world have no place among people. And what’s more, she’s carrying his baby.

In the events that follow, only Cat knows the real truth, and as she struggles to deal with it, her entire world is turned upside down.

Set against a backdrop of imminent catastrophe, Monolith explores the dawn of sentient artificial intelligence, the destructive extremes of global greed, the power of love, and the mystery of what lies beyond life itself
