One day in Thailand, 21st-century slacker Scott Warden witnesses an impossible event: the violent appearance of a 200-foot stone pillar.
Its arrival collapses trees for a quarter mile around its base.
It appears to be composed of an exotic form of matter.
And the inscription chiseled into it commemorates a military victory.
sixteen years hence.
As more pillars arrive all over the world, all apparently from our own near future, a strange loop of causality keeps drawing Scott into the central mystery--and a final battle with the future.
