Katey Atwood is the thread connecting a remarkable 60-year saga. Born just a few years before The Change, a mysterious event that reshapes the world, Katey witnesses the disappearance of hundreds of millions of people—a catastrophe occurring simultaneously with an accelerator mishap in Bern, Switzerland.
Those who remain are different, ushering in a new Age of Reason, a golden era marked by extraordinary spiritual and technological breakthroughs. As Katey grows into adulthood, her exceptional brilliance as a scientist and quantum physicist leads her toward a discovery with the power to redefine humanity itself.
But as humanity reaches toward a brighter future, darker forces begin to rise again. Determined to restore the conservative dogma of the past, they target Katey, her groundbreaking research, and the future she represents.
The Change is an ambitious and deeply hopeful novel about transformation, discovery, and the resilience of the human spirit. It envisions a world reborn—and humanity’s chance to begin again, despite the odds.
