Book Two of the Thoth Scrolls series: This book is set two hundred years after a catastrophic world war. Lacking all services, the people of Earth are struggling to regain the life they once enjoyed. One society begins to look beyond its city limits by asking what other societies survived the war. This is the story of one survey team's journey and especially the ventures of one young woman. A woman who is destined to usher in the beginnings of a New Dawn. She will lead her people forward totally unaware that Earth's history is being controlled by forces completely outside her imagination.

Jennifer, having graduated as a chronicler and medic, joins her father's survey team. Like the other teams, their task is to contact other societies and to find equipment and books that can be salvaged.
The team discovers cities where technology has progressed unabated while other groups have devolved to an almost tribal existence. The team's exploits arouse the interest of the World Committee who need to know more about the peoples and conditions that exist. Jennifer and her father are summoned to a meeting where they discover the true extent of the committee's activities and discover that people still live in the Space Station. Her true adventure will begin.

A near fatal wound exposes the fact she was born of the lineage of the Egyptian God Thoth, a being who had been sent to Earth to foster mankind's evolution from the Neanderthal to Homo sapiens. This blood line has given her immortality. She will join others who had walked the Earth for millennium. These experiences along with her spiritual guide will give her the skills and the wisdom to become part of the World Committee and eventually become its Chairperson.
