Dark Energy makes up what appears to be about 68% of the energy of the universe, a constant across all of space. These forces are what is causing the universe to expand. So cosmologists believe. But what if some of this energy ...... had intelligence'... could manipulate space and time'... has become depleted'... needs the energy from intelligent organisms to keep its forces from dying'... has come to planet Earth to harvest the energy from its humans?Indeed, this blood-dimmed tide of intelligence has attacked the Earth, consuming the innocent like a vampire that must have the energy stored in human blood to survive.There is no hope for most of the humans it takes. Except for a few. Those individuals who, because of some inherent inner strength, are able to resist its attacks. One such person is Conrad Brinkley. He is a software developer known as an Eureka in the company he works for because of his extraordinary ability to solve complex problems. But there is one problem he can't solve: what exactly is happening to him. For weeks his dreams are haunted by the face of a woman pleading for his help. It's always the same dream. Every night. Now sleep has become his enemy. And this enemy wants to drive him insane.
