It's been three years since Storm Freeman released the Gatherer, a device that brought free, infinite energy to the world.
The initial reverence has receded from the world changing invention as people are afflicted with a strange, inexplicable disease.
Afflicted herself, Freeman has retreated to the Yukon, to hide out from the world.
When Maria Kowalski arrives - the special forces agent who first tried to stop her from releasing the Gatherer - Storm has to make a choice: stay hidden or return to the world and destroy what she created.
THE GATHERER is my favourite kind of Crichton-esque thriller: smart, compelling, and beautifully written.
