Empty Shell

Research scientist, Richard Bernard, and his wife, Mary, live in Montreux, Switzerland. Dr. Bernard belongs to Beau Monde, a covert society of wealthy men and women who have dreams of rescuing the planet from self-destruction. The Doctor cannot share that with Mary - or tell her their soon-to-be-adopted baby was handpicked to be groomed for world leadership. Mary notices things that are different about their son, Lucas. Conflict builds until a pivotal crisis when Lucas is twelve.

In Part II, Lucas is a young man sharing fame with his world-renowned father as a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Medicine. He gravitates into the arena of public relations and meets journalist, Shannon O'Neil, who lives in Ft. Lauderdale. Shannon is flattered when this prestigious, vibrant man invites her to Switzerland where things rock her image of Lucas.

Dr. Bernard's faith in Beau Monde falters when Lucas begins to call the shots. Should the Doctor blow his cover and warn the young woman he's grown fond of? Would Shannon even believe him?

In San Diego, Homeland Security Agent, Jeremy Scott, has been rescued from a drug cartel in South America. He's shocked when he sees Lucas being interviewed on the news. He knows that face -- but how could it belong to Lucas Bernard? To see the man in person, he travels to Ft. Lauderdale.

In the meantime, Lucas realizes that his "father" and Shannon could threaten his status as a rising star. When Jeremy arrives in Florida, he discovers that newswoman, Shannon O'Neil, needs his help and soon finds himself embroiled in the biggest mystery of his life.

Part III moves into the not-so-distant future when life on Planet Earth no longer resembles anything previously known throughout history. Supernatural things begin to happen while life spins out of control for Shannon and the two men she cares about.
