End The Beginning 

Modern-day Earth has become host to a mysterious object that has assumed orbit around the planet. Though invisible, it will not remain unnoticed for long, as changes have already begun to occur. Dr. Simon Shepherd is enlisted to study the object and the world-changing events that may ensue, until he finds himself in a game of predator and prey with the CIA. Karen Thomas’s world is turned upside down when her husband is assassinated and her sister is kidnapped, and then she gains the ability to see the future. When Jack Voight learns he can understand a lost cat, he leads his friends and the feline out of the city before it turns into Hell. Psychopathic killer Art Spektor discovers his body has undergone extraordinary physical changes–and he has developed a new sexual appetite. With a pending eclipse sure to result in devastation, one thing is certain: Life will never be the same. And neither will Earth.
