It has been one hundred and seventy-five years since man landed on the moon and technology has been marching backwards ever since under the seven global regimes. Now a plague, the fourth wave, is poised to sweep over the planet. Can an ancient formula preserved inside a body of knowledge known only to a lineage of ravens save mankind? The Book of Damon explores the linguistic and psychic bonds that must develop between species who each have an ultimate stake in saving mankind from the pestilence and from itself. The first book in the 'Raven's Cry' Trilogy.
