And She Smiled upon Her Sons

John Richardson is a man of destiny. He is born in the year 2093 into a world on the brink of self-destruction. A world of famine, privation and the gangs that run wild and unconstrained through the streets of society. From his self-imposed exile deep in the Arizona desert he and his colleagues, Chang and Stephanie, watch and wait. John has his own ideas about the future. He is a man of vision. Omni Richards, born in the year 3333, is a child of that vision as he grows to manhood in the timelessness of the wide open spaces of the Steppes. By birthright he is a guardian, committed to protecting the future. But Omni is also much more. He is the first of her chosen ones but first he must secure his own future. She is the giver of life, the destroyer, the healer. She is the catalyst between the two men. And when at last they met she smiled upon her sons, for now her future was secure.
