The populations of seven major cities are instantly killed by an unknown agent that turns living tissue into grotesque crystalline structures. Charles Davis, one of the only survivors in New York City, is barely alive when found by his brother Aaron during an emergency rescue mission. The Omniscients follows the brothers as Charles’ body and mind transform into something immensely powerful but stripped of humanity. The resulting battle between morality and logic will determine the fate of human civilization.
The Omniscients draws on interviews with multiple experts including an ER doctor, immunologist, chemist, infectious disease doctor, and senior quality engineer to provide science within its science fiction setting. Further technical details came from sources including the CDC biosafety manual, USAMRIID’s “Blue Book,” Department of Homeland Security fact sheets, and other academic publications.
