Book excerpt: Writing in AD 2295, Nrthstr, a super mutant, looks back to the twenty-first century when his kind first appeared. He writes of the struggle of his small group to survive, of the Human population that has increased to thirteen billion in three hundred years, and how their sheer numbers have despoiled the planet. Homo Xtra, the alien race, whose numbers have never exceed 144, try to save humanity from its own excesses. As smoke billows on every continent and waters rise until they wet the feet of the Statue of Liberty, fear generates the rise of hate groups who blame the few who are different for their problems. Homo Xtras arouse suspicion because of their superior intelligence, strength, and longevity. The Wrath of God Brigades are determined to destroy them, but the aliens, by their natures, can do no harm. They avoid total destruction and set their mighty IQs to save the planet and the very people who would annihilate them. One of their number finds a fix, but it overshoots, and 97 percent of the Human population are rendered sterile. Those who are Viables must be matched in order to reproduce. The Homo Xtras strive to undo the harm, and perversely, humans fight back even as they are diminished. The question becomes, can these few aliens save their host planet and a large-enough gene pool of humans to repopulate this beautiful world before their own demise?
